God's Country (Riverside Live Acoustic Version)

Right outside of this one church town

There's a gold dirt road to a whole lotta 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 falling

'Cause it brings the grain and a little bit of money

We put it back in the plate, I guess it's why they call it

God's country

I saw the light in a sunrise

sitting back in the 40 on a muddy riverside getting baptized

In holy water and shine with the dogs running

Saved by the sound of a been found

Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get ya 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

I saw the light in a sunrise

sitting back in the 40 on a muddy riverside getting baptized

In holy water and shine with the dogs running

Saved by the sound of a been found

Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get ya heaven bound

The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around

This is God's country

Yeah this is God's country

I don't care what my headstone reads

Or what kinda pinewood box I end up in

When it's my time, lay me six feet deep in God's country

I saw the light in a sunrise

sitting back in the 40 on a muddy riverside getting baptized

In holy water and shine with the dogs running

Saved by the sound of a been found

Dixie whistle in the wind that'll get ya heaven bound

The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around

This is God's country
