Am C D Am

[Verse]
Am
Right outside of this one church town
          C
There's a gold, dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
      D
Got a deed to the land but it ain't my ground
        Am
This is 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
   D
We put it back in the plate I guess that's why
             Am
They call it God's country

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

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

[Solo]
Am C D Am

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

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

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