Lyrics

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

Son of the new south
Step child of uncle sam
Baptized in 100 proof and saved by the blood of the lamb
This is the new south still drink our tea from a mason jar
We're the backbone of this country and proud of who we are

From richmond to montgomery
San antoine to caroline
There's a brand new spirit sweepin' in like wind through geogia pines
I hold on to some old ways
I ain't scared to try the new
But when it comes to what I change I'll be the one to choose

Son of the new south
Step child of uncle sam
Baptized in 100 proof, and saved by the blood of the lamb
This is the new south
Still drink our tea from a mason jar
We're the backbone of this country and we're proud of who we are

Yeah

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

Son of the new south
Step child of uncle sam
Baptized in 100 proof, and saved by the blood of the lamb
This is the new south
Still drink our tea from a mason jar
We're the backbone of this country and we're proud of who we are

Son of the new south
Step child of uncle sam
Baptized in 100 proof, and saved by the blood of the lamb
This is the new south
Still drink our tea from a mason jar
We're the backbone of this country and we're proud of who we areeeeeeeeee

Whoooo
