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 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
Di ie 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 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
Di ie 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)
God's country
I don't care what my headstone reads
Or what kind of pinewood bo I end up in
When it's my time, lay me si feet deep
In God's country (yeah, yeah)
I saw the light in the 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
Di ie 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)
Yeah, I saw the light in the 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
Di ie 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
