Country State Of Mind

That hot old summer sun

Make you beg for your next breath

So you best be on the creek bank

Laid in the shade

Chewing 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

Catching these fish

Like they're going out of style

Drinking 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

Aww, drinking his beer

And dialing up the request lines

Mama and old aunt Joan

Probably in the dining room trying to use the phone

Me, I'm thinking about that girl

And later tonight, oh, yeah

I'm just laid up here

In a country state of mind

Hey, I'm catching these fish

Like they're going out of style

I'm drinking 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 rednecks and the preppies

They're in their discos and honkytonks

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 living in the USA

Me, I'm laid up here

In a country state of mind

Catching these fish

Like they're going out of style

Drinking 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
