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 fallin´
´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
Sittin´ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin´ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin´
Saved by the sound of the being 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 (Yeah)

I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin´ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin´ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin´
Saved by the sound of the being 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

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 6 feet deep in
God´s country

I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin´ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin´ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin´
Saved by the sound of the being 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
Sittin´ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin´ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin´

Saved by the sound of the being 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
