God's Country

Right outside of this one church town There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothing 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 fallin' 'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money We put it back in a 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 river side Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the being found Dixie whistle 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 river side Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the being found Dixie whistle 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 don't care what my headstone reads Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in When it's my time landing six feet deep in God's country (Yeah) I saw the light in a sunrise Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy river side Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the being found Dixie whistle 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, I saw the light in a sunrise Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy river side Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the being found Dixie whistle 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
