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 a forty on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the 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 because we’re proud to be
From God’s country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the 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
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 a forty on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the 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, I saw the light in a sunrise
Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside
Getting baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the 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
