| Right outside of this one church town
|
| There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
|
| Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground
|
| This is God's country
|
| We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen
|
| 'Cause it brings the grain and a little bit of money
|
| We put it back in the plate
|
| I guess that's why they call it God's country
|
| I saw the light in a sunrise
|
| Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
|
| Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin'
|
| Saved by the sound of the been found
|
| Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
|
| The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
|
| This is God's country
|
| We turn the dirt and work until the week's done
|
| We take a break and break bread on Sunday
|
| Then do it all again
|
| 'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah)
|
| I saw the light in a sunrise
|
| Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
|
| Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin'
|
| Saved by the sound of the been found
|
| Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
|
| The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
|
| This is God's country
|
| (This is God's country)
|
| God's country
|
| I don't care what my headstone reads
|
| Or what kind of pinewood box I end up in
|
| When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
|
| In God's country (Yeah)
|
| I saw the light in a sunrise
|
| Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
|
| Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin'
|
| Saved by the sound of the been found
|
| Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
|
| The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
|
| This is God's country (God's country, I saw the light)
|
| Yeah, I saw the light in a sunrise
|
| Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
|
| Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin' (Yeah)
|
| Saved by the sound of the been found
|
| Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
|
| The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
|
| This is God's country |
