|
That hot, old summer sun |
|
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 |
|
Hey, I'm catching these fish like they're goin' out of style |
|
Drinkin' this homemade wine |
|
Lord, 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 |
|
Got my kind of music on his radio |
|
Drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request line |
|
Momma and old Aunt Joan |
|
Probably in the dining room tryin' to use the phone |
|
Me, I'm thinkin' about that girl and later tonight |
|
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind |
|
Hey, I'm catching these fish like they're goin' out of style |
|
Drinkin' this homemade wine |
|
Lord, 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 |
|
You know, the rednecks and the preppies |
|
They and their discos and honkytonks |
|
Somewhere between raising hell and "Amazing Grace" |
|
Lord, I know just how they feel |
|
Gotta get out and kick up your heels |
|
And ain't it great to be livin' in the U.S.A.? |
|
Me, I'm laid up here in a country state of mind |
|
Hey, I'm catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style |
|
Drinkin' this homemade wine |
|
Well, if the sun don't come up tomorrow |
|
Won't you know that I had a good time? |
|
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind |
