Key:EmEm| Capo:0fr| |
IntroEmGDA x2
VerseEmG
I had a buddy come down 'round last July
DA
Called me when he crossed the Mason Dixon line
EmGDA
Said he was headed down south and lookin' for a real good time
EmG
I said man c'mon I got a place in mind
DA
And we pulled up at a bar right off the Georgia line
EmG
Walked in man his eyes got wide
AD
and when his jaw hit the floor all I could do was smile
GA
He said, Man we got some pretty women up North, but I ain't never seen nothin like this;
GA
and I said, Man these here ain't ordinary women, we call these GRITS;
ChorusEm
She's a product of bein' raised in the country
D
She knows her roots and works hard for her money
AA southern drawl with dark tanned legs
GA
Ain't nothing like a woman southern born and bred
Em
Now she loves her mom and daddy and the Lord to death
G
Just actin' innocent; playin' hard to get
D
With the girls tonight, man their out on the town
AA
GRITS, man a girl raised in the South
InterludeEmGDEm x2
VerseEmG
He sat down at the bar and had a couple drinks
DA
Breakin' his neck just scopin' the scene
EmGDA
It wasn't long before he had my attention pointed towards the door
EmGD
He was starin at long legs that ran into boots, short skirt, and t shirt
A
didn't have much use
EmGA
But she walked right to the jukebox and fired it up
G
She had every head turnin
A
Boys eyes was burnin as she made her way out to the floor
G
Had the jealous girls lookin all sayin
A
She ain't nothin but a-oh my god she just broke it down low!
ChorusEm
Product of bein' raised in the country
D
She knows her roots and works hard for her money
AA southern drawl with dark tanned legs

Ain't nothing like a woman southern born and bred
Em
Now she loves her mom and daddy and the Lord to death
GD
Actin' innocent, Playin hard to get with the girls tonight man their out on the town

ChorusEm
Well, she's a product of bein' raised in the country
D
She knows her roots and works hard for her money
AA southern drawl with dark tanned legs
GA
Ain't nothing like a woman southern born and bred
Em
Now she loves her mom and daddy and the Lord to death
GD
Just actin' innocent, Playin' hard to get with the girls tonight man their out
