歌词
Right outside of this one church town
就在这笃信上帝的小镇之外
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
一条金黄土路 直通那虚无之地
Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground
多年守候着这片土地 却也不敢声称它为我所有
This is God's country
只因这里属于上帝
We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen
人们时常祈雨 感恩他赐予来年收成
'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
我们以此谋求生计 藉以发家致富
We put it back in the plate
所有付出终有回报
I guess that's why they call it God's country
于是人们坚信 这是上帝的土地
I saw the light in the sunrise
朝阳中我窥见一道光
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
独自坐在后院 那泥泞的湖边
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
圣光沐浴中 湖水将我灵魂洗礼
With the dogs runnin'
身旁还有家里的狗自由奔跑
Saved by the sound of the been found
终于觉察到他的存在 他的声音将你我拯救
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
风中传来南国的呢喃 正是这让你与天堂那头紧紧相连
The devil went down to Georgia, but he didn't stick around
恶魔侵袭了佐治亚 但他也没能逗留多久
This is God's country
只因这方土地属于上帝
We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done
在泥土中翻耕 总算迎来了一周终结
We take a break and break bread on Sunday
放松歇息一会儿 周日清晨一同祷告
And then do it all again
每周如此 从不厌倦
'Cause we're proud to be from God's country
只因我们共同来自 上帝庇佑的乡村之土
I saw the light in the sunrise
朝阳中我窥见一道光
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
独自坐在后院 那泥泞的湖边
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
圣光沐浴中 湖水将我灵魂洗礼
With the dogs runnin'
身旁还有家里的狗自由奔跑
Saved by the sound of the been found
终于觉察到他的存在 他的声音将你我拯救
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
风中传来南国的呢喃 正是这让你与天堂那头紧紧相连
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
恶魔侵袭了佐治亚 但他也没能逗留多久
This is God's country
只因这方土地属于上帝
I don't care what my headstone reads
我不在乎墓碑被刻下何种文字
Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in
或是被后人以怎样的方式安葬
When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
当我大限将至 请将我埋在土中
In God's country
就在这上帝掌管的土地上
I saw the light in the sunrise
朝阳中我窥见一道光
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
独自坐在后院 那泥泞的湖边
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
圣光沐浴中 湖水将我灵魂洗礼
With the dogs runnin'
身旁还有家里的狗自由奔跑
Saved by the sound of the been found
终于觉察到他的存在 他的声音将你我拯救
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
风中传来南国的呢喃 正是这让你与天堂那头紧紧相连
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
恶魔侵袭了佐治亚 但他也没能逗留多久
This is God's country
只因这方土地属于上帝
Yeah, I saw the light in the sunrise
朝阳中我窥见一道光
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
独自坐在后院 那泥泞的湖边
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
圣光沐浴中 湖水将我灵魂洗礼
With the dogs runnin'
身旁还有家里的狗自由奔跑
Saved by the sound of the been found
终于觉察到他的存在 他的声音将你我拯救
