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 the 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 the 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)
God s country
I don t care what my headstone reads
Or what kind of pine wood 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 the 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 the 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
