Intro: Em G D A (2x)
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;

Breakin' his neck just scopin' the scene

It wasn't long before he had my attention pointed towards the door

But she walked right to the jukebox and fired it up
