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, thank him when it's fallin'
'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 a muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the dogs running
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 a muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the dogs running
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)
I don't care what my headstone reads
And 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 a muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the dogs running
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)
I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the dogs running
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
