Right outside of this
one church town
There's a gold dirt road
to a whole lot of nothing
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
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'
Baptised 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
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
Do it all again
'cause we're
proud to be
From God's country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin' back in a 40
on the muddy river side
Gettin'
Baptised 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
Devil went
down to Georgia but
he didn't stick around
This is 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 6 feet deep in
God's country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin' back in a 40
on the muddy river side
Gettin'
Baptised 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
Devil went
down to Georgia but
he didn't stick around
This is God's country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin' back in a 40
on the muddy river side
Gettin'
Baptised 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
Devil went
down to Georgia but
he didn't stick around
This is God's country
