Country State of Mind

That hot ol' 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

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

And 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, I'm drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request lines

Mama and old aunt Joan

Probably in the dinin' 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

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

I'm drinkin' this homemade wine

And 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 red necks and the preppies

They are in their discos and honky-tonks

Somewhere between 'Raising Hell' and 'Amazing 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 U.S.A'

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

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

And drinkin' this homemade wine all the time

If the sun don't shine tomorrow

People, I have had a good time

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

Yodlehehoo, odlehehoo, odleee
