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 it when it's fallin'

'Cause it brings a 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 the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 40 
on the muddy riverside

Gettin' baptized 
in holy water and 'shine

With the dogs 
runnin'

Saved by the sound 
of the being 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 turned the dirt 
and worked 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, yeah)

I saw the light 
in the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 40 
on the muddy riverside

Gettin' baptized 
in holy water and 'shine

With the dogs 
runnin'

Saved by the sound 
of the being 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

(Yeah)

(This is God's country)

God's country

I don't care 
what my headstone reads

Or what kind of pine wood box
I end up in

When it's my time, 
lay me six feet deep

In God's country
(Yeah, yeah)

I saw the light 
in the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 40 
on the muddy riverside

Gettin' baptized 
in holy water and 'shine

With the dogs 
runnin'

Saved by the sound 
of the being 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)

Yeah, I saw the light 
in the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 40 
on the muddy riverside

Gettin' baptized 
in holy water and 'shine

With the dogs 
runnin' (Yeah)

Saved by the sound 
of the being 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
