Gods Country Chords

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

I don't care what my headstone reads

Or what kind of pinewood box I end up in

When it's my time, lay me six feet deep

In God's country (Yeah)
