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 him when it's falling
cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
we put it back in a plate
i guess that'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 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
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 a forty 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
this is god's country
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
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 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 a sunrise
sitting back in a forty 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
