[Hank Williams Jr. - New South lyrics]
Last fall, we elected the man from plains
And there was lots of talk
About a great big change
But the Atlanta Braves
They still lose too many games
And the new south, thank God
Is still the same
Old Nashville's still got a song and dance
And the Florida girls still
Wear no underpants
And we all get drunk at the football games
'Cause the new south, thank God
Is still the same
The new south is still the same
And I'm damn glad of it
I don't want no little ol' danish rolls
I must have ham and grit's
And my woman does look good in her T-shirt
Standin' in the Georgia rain
And the new south, thank God
Is still the same
Now my old grandaddy, he still farms the land
And down in Miami
They voted in the all-over tan
And I'm hooked on those Carolina dreams
And the new south, thank God
Is still the same well, my Boston girl
She's read in the New York Times
That it was very chic now
To speak southern lines
Though she sounds kinda funny when she says
"Y'all come again"
Hey, the new south, thank God
Is still the same
The new south is still the same
And I'm so glad of it
I don't want no little ol' danish rolls
I must have ham and grit's
And the Boston girl says she likes it
Lovin' on the river bank
Hey, the new south, thank God
Is still the same
And this Boston girl says she likes it
Down here
Lovin' by the river bank with ol' Hank
'Cause the new south, thank God
Is still the same y'all come again
And there was lots of talk
About a great big change
But the Atlanta Braves
They still lose too many games
And the new south, thank God
Is still the same
Old Nashville's still got a song and dance
And the Florida girls still
Wear no underpants
And we all get drunk at the football games
'Cause the new south, thank God
Is still the same
The new south is still the same
And I'm damn glad of it
I don't want no little ol' danish rolls
I must have ham and grit's
And my woman does look good in her T-shirt
Standin' in the Georgia rain
And the new south, thank God
Is still the same
Now my old grandaddy, he still farms the land
And down in Miami
They voted in the all-over tan
And I'm hooked on those Carolina dreams
And the new south, thank God
Is still the same well, my Boston girl
She's read in the New York Times
That it was very chic now
To speak southern lines
Though she sounds kinda funny when she says
"Y'all come again"
Hey, the new south, thank God
Is still the same
The new south is still the same
And I'm so glad of it
I don't want no little ol' danish rolls
I must have ham and grit's
And the Boston girl says she likes it
Lovin' on the river bank
Hey, the new south, thank God
Is still the same
And this Boston girl says she likes it
Down here
Lovin' by the river bank with ol' Hank
'Cause the new south, thank God
Is still the same y'all come again
