Verse:
[Bb]Right outside of this one church town
There's a [A#]gold, dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
Got a [Cb]deed to the land but it ain't my ground
This is [Bb]God's country
[Bb]We pray for rain, thank him when it's fallin'
[A#]'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We [Cb]put it back in the plate I guess that's why
They call it [Bb]God's country

Chorus:
[Bb]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [A#]back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin' [Cb]baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Bb]dogs running
[Bb]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [A#]whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The [Cb]devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is [Bb]God's country

Verse:
[Bb]We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done
[A#]We take a break and break bread on Sunday
[Cb]And then do it all again 'cause we're proud to be
From [Bb]God's country (Yeah, yeah)

Chorus:
[Bb]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [A#]back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin' [Cb]baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Bb]dogs running
[Bb]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [A#]whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The [Cb]devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is [Bb]God's country (yeah)

Solo:
[Bb] [A#] [Cb] [Bb]

Bridge:
[Bb]I don't care what my headstone reads
And [A#]what kind of pine wood box I end up in
[Cb]When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
In [Bb]God's country (Yeah, yeah)

Chorus:
[Bb]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [A#]back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin' [Cb]baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Bb]dogs running
[Bb]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [A#]whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The [Cb]devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is [Bb]God's country (God's country)

Chorus:
[Bb]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [A#]back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin' [Cb]baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the [Bb]dogs running
[Bb]Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie [A#]whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The [Cb]devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is [Bb]God's country⠀⠀
