That hot, old 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 Pa** 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 Hey, I'm catching these fish like they're goin' out of style Drinkin' this homemade wine Lord, 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 Got my kind of music on his radio Drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request line Momma and old Aunt Joan Probably in the dining 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 Hey, I'm catching these fish like they're goin' out of style Drinkin' this homemade wine Lord, 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 and their discos and honkytonks Somewhere between raising hell and "Amazing Grace" Lord, I know just how they feel 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 Hey, I'm catchin' these fish like they're goin' out of style Drinkin' this homemade wine Well, if the sun don't come up tomorrow Won't you know that I had a good time? I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
