Em G
I had a buddy come down ’round last July
D A
Called me when he crossed the Mason Dixon line
Em G D A
Said he was headed down south and lookin’ for a real good time
Em G
I said man c’mon I got a place in mind
D A
And we pulled up at a bar right off the Georgia line
Em G
Walked in man his eyes got wide
A D
and when his jaw hit the floor all I could Do was smile
G A
He said, Man we got some pretty women up North,
but I ain’t never seen nothin like this;
G A
and I said, Man these here ain’t ordinary women,
we call these GRITS;

Chorus:
Em
She’s a product of bein’ raised in the country
D
She knows her roots and works hard for her money
A
A southern drawl with dark tanned legs
G A
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
A A
GRITS, man a girl raised in the South

Em G
He sat down at the bar and had a couple drinks
D A
Breakin’ his neck just scopin’ the scene
Em G D A
It wasn’t long before he had my attention pointed towards the door
Em G D
He was starin at long legs that ran into boots, short skirt,
and t shirt
A
didn’t have much use
Em G A
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!
