Lyrics

Right out side of this one church town there’s a (Eb)gold dirt road to a whole lot ta noth in’.

Got a (F)deed to the land, but it ain’t my ground.

This is (Cm)God’s coun try.

We pray for rain and thank Him when it’s fall in’ ’cause (Eb)it brings a grain and a lit tle bit of mon ey.

We put (F)it back in the plate; I guess that’s why they call it (Cm)God’s coun try.

I saw the light in a sun rise sit tin’ (Eb)back in a for ty on the mud dy riv er side, get tin’ bap tized in ho ly wa ter and shine with the (Cm)dogs run nin’.

Saved by the sound of the be in’ found, Dix ie (Eb)whis tle in the wind that ’ll get you heav en bound.

The dev (F)il went down to Geor gia, but he did n’t stick a round.

This is (Cm)God’s coun try.

We turn the dirt and work un til the week’s done.

’cause (Eb)We take a break and break bread tle on of Sun day, then put (F)do it all a gain ’cause we’re proud why to be from (Cm)God’s coun try.

I saw the light in a sun rise sit tin’ (Eb)back in a for ty on the mud dy riv er side, get tin’ bap tized in ho ly wa ter and shine with the (Cm)dogs run nin’.

Saved by the sound of the be in’ found, Dix ie (Eb)whis tle in the wind that ’ll get you heav en bound.

The dev (F)il went down to Geor gia, but he did n’t stick a round.

This is (Cm)God’s coun try.

(Cm)God’s coun try.

I don’t care what my head stone reads or what kind of pine wood box I end up in.

(F)When it’s my time, lay me six feet deep in (Cm)God’s coun try.

I saw the light in a sun rise sit tin’ (Eb)back in a for ty on the mud dy riv er side, get tin’ bap tized in ho ly wa ter and shine with the (Cm)dogs run nin’.

Saved by the sound of the be in’ found, Dix ie (Eb)whis tle in the wind that ’ll get you heav en bound.

Saved by the sound of the be in’ found, Dix ie (Eb)whis tle in the wind that ’ll get you heav en bound.

The dev (F)il went down to Geor gia, but he did n’t stick a round.

This is (Cm)God’s coun try.

Yeah, I (Cm)God’s coun try.
