Right outside of this one church town
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lotta nothing
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 falling
'Cause it brings the grain and a little bit of money
We put it back in the plate, I guess it's why they call it
God's country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sitting back in the 40 on a muddy riverside getting baptized
In holy water and shine with the dogs running
Saved by the sound of a been found
Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get ya 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
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sitting back in the 40 on a muddy riverside getting baptized
In holy water and shine with the dogs running
Saved by the sound of a been found
Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get ya 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
♪
I don't care what my headstone reads
Or what kinda pinewood box I end up in
When it's my time, lay me six feet deep in God's country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sitting back in the 40 on a muddy riverside getting baptized
In holy water and shine with the dogs running
Saved by the sound of a been found
Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get ya heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is God's country
