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

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

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

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

And [C]what kind of pine wood box I end up in

In [Am]God's country (Yeah, yeah)

Chorus:
[Am]I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' [C]back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
