Son of the New south
Travis Tritt
Stnd Tuning
D C
Raised a child of farmer folks down in the Southern land
G C G D
I worked all day in the summer sun 'til my back was leather tan
C
Now I've been called hillbilly, I've been called a redneck too
G C G D
But I ain't backwards, dumb or poor, I'm just red, white and blue
[Chorus]
G D
Son of the New South, step-child to Uncle Sam
C G C G D
Baptized in 100 proof and saved by the blood of the lamb
G D
This is the New South, still drink our tea from a Mason jar
C G C G D
We're the backbone of this country and we're proud of who we are
C G D
From Richmond to Montgomery From San Antone to Caroline
There's a brand new spirit sweepin' in Like wind through Georgia pines
I hold on to some old ways I ain't scared to try the new
But what it comes to what I change I'll be the one to choose
[Repeat Chorus]
Solo: G D C G C G D
(basically the first two lines of the chorus)
G
Well the times are a changin'
D
And the South has come of age
G
We've put the past behind us
A
It's time to turn the page
Repeat Chorus x2
C G D x2
