Son of the New south
Travis Tritt
Stnd Tuning

   D5                             C5
Raised a child of farmer folks down in the Southern land
    G5                                       C5          G5     D5
I worked all day in the summer sun 'til my back was leather tan
                                        C5
Now I've been called hillbilly, I've been called a redneck too
 G5                                         C5         G5         D5
But I ain't backwards, dumb or poor, I'm just red, white and blue

[Chorus]
        G5                    D5 
Son of the New South, step-child to Uncle Sam
   C5         G5              C5            G5           D5
Baptized in 100 proof and saved by the blood of the lamb
             G5                 D5
This is the New South, still drink our tea from a Mason jar
              C5               G5                C5       G5      D5
We're the backbone of this country and we're proud of who we are

C5  G5  D5


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:  G5  D5  C5  G5  C5  G5  D5  
(basically the first two lines of the chorus)

 G5
Well the times are a changin'
 D5
And the South has come of age
 G5
We've put the past behind us
 A5
It's time to turn the page
