Drop D

Intro

That hot old summer sun

Make ya beg for your next breath

So ya best be on the creek bank a laid in the shade

Chewin on a hickory twig

Pass that bottle Ill have me a swig

I aint got a lot but I think I got it made in the shade

Chorus

Im just a laid up here in a country state of mind

Catchin these fish like they're goin outta style

Drinkin this homemade wine

Hey if the sun dont come up tomorrow

People I have had a good time

Im just a laid up here in a country state of mind

I said the old man's in the kitchen

He's got my kinda music on his radio

Aw drinkin his beer and dialin up the request lines

Mama and old aunt(pronounced "aint" for those not in the South) Joan

Probably(pronounced "Probly") in the dining room tryin to use the phone

Me Im thinkin about that girl and later tonight

Chorus

Change Key Up 1 Step(2 frets)

Ya 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

Ya got to get out and kick up your heels

And aint it great to be living in the USA

Chorus

Im just a laid up here in a country state of mind

Catchin these fish like they're goin outta style

Drinkin this homemade wine

Hey if the sun dont come up tomorrow

People I have had a good time

Im just a laid up here in a country state of mind
