Gods Country

A A C D A A Right outside of this one church town C There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin' D Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground A This is God's country A We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen C 'Cause it brings the grain and a little bit of money D We put it back in the plate A I guess that's why they call it God's country A I saw the light in a sunrise C Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside D A Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin' A Saved by the sound of the been found C Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound D The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around A This is God's country A We turn the dirt and work until the week's done C We take a break and break bread on Sunday D Then do it all again A 'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah) A I saw the light in a sunrise C Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside D A Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin' A Saved by the sound of the been found C Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound D The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around A This is God's country A C Yeah this is God's country D A Oh this is God's country A I don't care what my headstone reads C Or what kind of pinewood box I end up in D When it's my time, lay me six feet deep A In God's country A I saw the light in a sunrise C Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside D A Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin' A Saved by the sound of the been found C Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound D The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around A This is God's country A C D A
