Last fall we elected the man from plains
and there was lots of talk about a great big change
but the Atlanta Braves still loose to 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 so glad of it
I don't want no little ol danish rolls I must have ham and grits
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 sound kinda funny when she says ya'll come again
hey the new south thank god is still the same

The new south is still the same and I'm d___ glad of it
I don't want no little ol danish rolls I must have ham and grits
and my 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 ya'll come again
