Bm Bm We turn the dirt and work until the week's done Bm D D We take a break and break bread on Sunday E Then do it all again E E Bm Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah)Bm Bm I saw the light in a sunrise D D Sittin' back in a 40 on the muddy riverside E E Bm Bm Gettin' baptized in holy water and 'shine with the dogs runnin' Bm Bm Saved by the sound of the been found D D Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound E E The Devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around Bm Bm This is God's country.....Bridge:
