TALLAHASSEE -- Florida is on track to get a new state anthem.

A state song many said is racist could be in for an overhaul.

On Thursday, the state Senate voted unanimously to make Jan Hinton's “Where The Sawgrass Meets The Sky” the official anthem.

It beat out a handful of other tunes in a public contest.

Lawmakers also decided to remove what some call racially insensitive lyrics from the state song “Suwannee River.”

Some senators had tried to do away with the song entirely. Gov. Crist said he's disappointed.
