[Verse]
C
Right outside of this one church town
Eb
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothing
F
Got a deed to the land but it ain't my ground
C
This is God's country
C
We pray for rain and thank Him when it's fallin'
Cm Eb
'cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
F
We put it back in a plate I guess that's why they call it
Cm7
God's country
[Chorus]
Cm
I saw the light in a sunrise
Eb
Sittin' back in a forty on the muddy river side
F C C7
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin'
C
Saved by the sound of the being found
Eb
Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get you Heaven bound
F
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
C7 C C7
This is God's country ■
[Verse]
C
We turn the dirt and work until the week's done

We take a break and break bread on Sunday

From God's country

I saw the light in a sunrise

Sittin' back in a forty on the muddy river side

I don't care what my headstone reads

Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in

When it's my time landing six feet deep in
