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 a 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 the 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 turned the dirt and worked 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 (yeah, yeah)
+
I saw the light in the 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 (yeah)
+
(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 (yeah, yeah)
+
I saw the light in the 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 (God's country)
+
Yeah, I saw the light in the 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
