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

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