[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
