Son of the New south
Travis Tritt
Stnd Tuning

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

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

F  C  C



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:  C  C  F  C  F  C  C  
(basically the first two lines of the chorus)

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