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
interlude
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
