God's Country

Back up North the devil had me

But 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 backslidin'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 bak 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
