Verse 1
D 
Right outside of this one church town 
         F 
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin' 
G                             F 
Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground 
        D 
This is God's country 
D 
We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen 
F 
'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money 
G 
We put it back in the plate 
                               D 
I guess that's why they call it God's country 
 
Chorus
D 
I saw the light in the sunrise 
       F 
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside 
        G                               F 
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine 
       D 
With the dogs runnin' 
D 
Saved by the sound of the been found 
     F 
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound 
     G                            F 
The devil went down to Georgia, but he didn't stick around 
       D 
This is God's country 
 
Verse 2
D 
We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done 
    F 
We take a break and break bread on Sunday 
         G 
And then do it all again 
          F                   D 
'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah, yeah)

D 
I don't care what my headstone reads 
F 
Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in

When it's my time, lay me six feet deep 
    D 
In God's country (Yeah, yeah)
