Josh Turner - Country State Of Mind

To Rate
★ Verse 1 ★
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

★ Chorus ★
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
Well, 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

★ Verse 2 ★
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
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, that's right

★ Chorus ★
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
Catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style
Drinkin' that homemade wine
Well 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

★ Verse 3 ★
You know the rednecks and the preppies
They're in their discos and honky-tonks
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?

★ Chorus ★
Me, I'm laid up here in a country state of mind
Catching these fish like they're goin' out of style
Drinkin' this homemade wine
Well 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

★ Outro ★
Hey-yodel-ayy-ee-oh, lay-ee-eh, oh-lay-ee
Ye-hee
