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 falling

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

Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside

Getting baptized in holy water

And shine with the dogs running

Saved by the sound of the been 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

I saw the light in a sunrise

Sitting back in the forty on the muddy riverside

Getting baptized in holy water

And shine with the dogs running

Saved by the sound of the been 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 pinewood box I end up in

When it's my time lay me six feet deep

In god's country

I saw the light in a sunrise

Sitting back in the forty on the muddy riverside

Getting baptized in holy water

And shine with the dogs running

Saved by the sound of the been 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

Sitting back in the forty on the muddy riverside

Getting baptized in holy water and shine with the dark

Dogs running

Saved by the sound of a been 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
