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 a 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 the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 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 turned the dirt and worked until the week's done

We take a break and break bread on Sunday

And then do it all again

'Cause we're proud to be from God's country

Yeah yeah

I saw the light in the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 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

Yeah

This is God's country

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 six feet deep

In God's country

I saw the light in the sunrise

Sittin' back in the 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
