Right outside of this one church town
Theres a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin
Got a deed to the land, but it aint my ground
This is Gods country
We pray for rain and thank Him when its fallin
Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We put it back in a plate
I guess thats why they call it
Gods 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 a been found
Dixie whistled in the wind
Thatll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia
But he didnt stick around
This is Gods country
We turn the dirt and work until the weeks done
We take a break and break bread on Sunday
Then do it all again cause were proud to be
From Gods 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 a been found
Dixie whistled in the wind
Thatll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia
But he didnt stick around
This is Gods country
I dont care what my headstone reads
Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in
When its my time landing 6 feet deep
In Gods 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 a been found
Dixie whistled in the wind
Thatll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia
But he didnt stick around
This is Gods 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 a been found
Dixie whistled in the wind
Thatll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia
But he didnt stick around
This is Gods country
