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
