God's Country

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
