God's CountryBack up North the devil had meBut now I'm down here in God's country She from Satan, he won't find me Though I know he will try In the east back slidin's easy The sun came up and evil seized me But now I'm right here in God's country The devil I deny Way out west there's all that ruckus Sunsets, you're in Satan's clutches But once you get back to God's country You can save your soul In England, Spain, even in China Way over there the Devil finds you Get on home back to God's country Like a lamb back to the fold Once you're there you won't worry Satan steer clear of God's country So get yourself back in a hurry That's where you belong Man makes laws but they don't matter Man made rules have no real power Get right, get back to God's country Elsewhere you'll just go wrong Out in the world there's all that ruckus The Devil gets us in his clutches But when we get back to God's country We're back in the fold Way down south the Devil had me But now I'm up here in God's country Safe from Satan, he won't find me He can't claim my soul |
