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
