Travis Tritt
Stnd Tuning
RaiCsed a child of farmer folks doFwn in the Southern land
I woCrked all day in the summer sun 'til my bFack was leaCther tCan
Now I've been called hillbilly, I've beeFn called a redneck too
BCut I ain't backwards, dumb or poor, I'm juFst red, whCite and blCue
[Chorus]
Son of tChe New South, step-chCild to Uncle Sam
BapFtized in 1C00 proof and saFved by the blCood of the lCamb
This is the NCew South, still drCink our tea from a Mason jar
We're the backFbone of this couCntry and we're prFoud of wCho we aCre
F C C
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: C C F C F C C

WCell the times are a changin'
ACnd the South has come of age
