Country State Of Mind

That hot old summer sun will make you beg for your next breath

So you best be on the creek bank laid in the shade

Chewin' on a hickory twig, pass that bottle, I'll have me a swig

I ain't got a lot, but I think I got it made in the shade

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

Catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style

Drinkin' this homemade wine

Hey, if the sun don't come up tomorrow

People, I have had a good time

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

I bet the old man's in the kitchen

He's got my kind of music on his radio

Oh, drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request line

And Mama and old Aunt Joan

They're probably in the dining room tryin' to use the phone

Me, I'm thinkin' about that girl and later tonight, oh, yes

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

Yeah, I'm catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style

I'm sippin' that homemade wine

And if the sun don't come up tomorrow

Lordy, people, I have had a good time

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

You know the rednecks and the preppies

They're in their discos and honky-tonks

Oh, somewhere between raisin' hell and amazin' grace

Lord, I know just how they feel

You gotta get out and kick up your heels

And ain't it great to be livin' in the USA?

Me, I'm laid up here in a country state of mind

Yeah, I'm catching these fish like they're goin' out of style

Drinkin' this homemade wine

And if the sun don't shine tomorrow

Oh, people, I have had a good time

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

Hey-yodel-ayy-ee-oh, lay-ee-eh, oh-lay-ee

Ye-hoo
