God's Country

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 the 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 a 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
 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 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 (Yeah!)
 I saw the light in a 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
 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

 (This is God's country)
 I don't care what my headstone reads
 Or what kind of pinewood box I end up in
 When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
 In God's country (yeah!)
 I saw the light in a sunrise
 Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside
