Lyrics

Right outside of this one church townThere’s a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin’Got a deed to the land, but it ain’t my groundThis is God’s countryWe pray for rain, and thank Him when it’s fallen‘Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of moneyWe put it back in the plateI guess that’s why they call it God’s country
I saw the light in the sunriseSittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy riversideGettin’ baptized in holy water and ‘shineWith the dogs runnin’Saved by the sound of the been foundDixie whistled in the wind, that’ll get you Heaven boundThe Devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick aroundThis is God’s country
We turned the dirt and worked until the week’s doneWe take a break and break bread on SundayAnd then do it all again‘Cause we’re proud to be from God’s country (yeah, yeah)
I saw the light in the sunriseSittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy riversideGettin’ baptized in holy water and ‘shineWith the dogs runnin’Saved by the sound of the been foundDixie whistled in the wind, that’ll get you Heaven boundThe Devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick aroundThis is God’s country (yeah)
God’s country
I don’t care what my headstone readsOr what kind of pinewood box I end up inWhen it’s my time, lay me six feet deepIn God’s country (yeah, yeah)
I saw the light in the sunriseSittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy riversideGettin’ baptized in holy water and ‘shineWith the dogs runnin’Saved by the sound of the been foundDixie whistled in the wind, that’ll get you Heaven boundThe devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick aroundThis is God’s country (God’s country)Yeah, I saw the light in the sunriseSittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy riversideGettin’ baptized in holy water and ‘shineWith the dogs runnin’Saved by the sound of the been foundDixie whistled in the wind, that’ll get you Heaven boundThe Devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick aroundThis is God’s country
