Lyrics:

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 the plate, I guess that’s why they call it
God’s country

I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin’ back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’, baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of-a been 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 the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’, baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of-a, been 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

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)

I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin’ back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of-a been 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 the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’, baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of-a, been 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
