Right outside of this one church town
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothing
Got a deed to the land but it ain't my ground
This is God's country
We pray for rain, and thank it when it's fallen
Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We put it back in the play
I guess that's why they call it God's country

I saw the light in the sunrise
Sitting back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs running
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistle 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
And then do it all again
Cause we're proud to be from God's country

I saw the light in the sunrise
Sitting back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs running
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistle 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 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
Sitting back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs running
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistle 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, I saw the light in the sunrise
Sitting back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs running
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistle 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
