Country State Of Mind (Live)

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
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

Chris Janson

I bet the old man's in the kitchen
He's got my kind of music on his radio
Oh, drinking his beer and dialing up the request line
And Mama and old Aunt Joan
They're probably in the dining room trying to use the phone
Me, I'm thinking about that [?] later tonight, oh, yes

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
Yeah, I'm catching these fish like they're going out of style
I'm sipping that homemade wine
And if the sun don't come up tomorrow
Lordy, 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 honky-tonks
Oh, 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
Sipping this homemade wine (All the time)
And if the sun don't shine tomorrow
Oh, people, I have had a good time
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
(All the time)
