D

[Verse]
     D                                G                 D
That hot old summer sun will make you beg for your next beath
       D                                     A
So you best be on the creek bank laid in the shade
D                                   G                       D
Chewin' on a hickory twig, pass that bottle, I'll have me a swig
        D                A              D
I ain't got a lot, but I think I got it made in the shade

[Chorus]
         G                                  D
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
D
Catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style
D                      A   A7
Drinkin' this homemade wine
            D
Hey, if the sun don't come up tomorrow
G                         D
People, I have had a good time
         D                 A                D
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

[Verse]
          D
I bet the old man's in the kitchen
            G                    D
He's got my kind of music on his radio
    D                                            A
Oh, drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request line
    D
And Mama and old Aunt Joan
                        G                             D
They're probably in the dining room tryin' to use the phone
        D                   A                D
Me, I'm thinkin' about that girl and later tonight, oh, yes

[Chorus]
         G                                  D
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
D
Catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style
D                      A   A7
Drinkin' this homemade wine
           D
And if the sun don't come up tomorrow
G                         D
People, I have had a good time
         D                 A                D    E
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

[Verse]
             E
You know the rednecks and the preppies
                 A                E
They're in their discos and honky-tonks
    E                                          B
Oh, somewhere between raisin' hell and amazin' grace
        E
Lord, I know just how they feel
              A                    E
You gotta get out and kick up your heels
    E                    B             E
And ain't it great to be livin' in the USA?

[Chorus]
        A                                  E
Me, I'm laid up here in a country state of mind
          E
Yeah, I'm catching these fish like they're goin' out of style
E                      B
Drinkin' this homemade wine
           E                       B
And if the sun don't shine tomorrow
    A                         E
Oh, people, I have had a good time
         E                 B                E
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

[Outro]
        E            B             E
Hey-yodel-ayy-ee-oh, lay-ee-eh, oh-lay-ee
      E
Ye-hoo
