Madd Kapp - Gods Country lyrics

This for my Grandmother Tiger, and my Grandmother Blanch Yeah, one time [Madd Kapp - singing] I get a funny feelin when I cross over Abner Mountain Cause when I make it to the fork in the road it's all my relatives' houses (or should I say trailers) All the Mullens and the Halls and the Tacketts and all the Johnsons My grandfather Orwell is a man of the cloth, he says the Lord is watchin I get a blast from the past when I walk up Caleb Fork I take a walk to the coal mine to say a little prayer to the Lord The first time I ever climbed the mountain was with my uncle Jack Draggin a cooler full of beer with old shoes and no shirt on my back I wanna go back, I wanna go back To - [Chorus] God's Country, where the gra** is green And the mountains go as far as the eye can see In God's Country, where it stays the same Time moves right along but my heart remains In God's Country, where the gra** is green And the mountains go as far as the eye can see In God's Country, where it stays the same Time moves right along but my heart remains In God's country [Madd Kapp - singing] And God rest the soul of my Papa Lloyd He never got to see me Candy Ray Mullens youngest boy The red-headed white boy from the outskirts of Detroit I love the city as a man but the hallow's in the heart of the boy I ain't forgot my roots, I need them to stay on track I love the skyscrapers man but the mountains are callin me back I wanna go back, I wanna go back Back to a little place called Weaksbury So I can sing Country Rose on the porch with my Uncle Ricky In - [Chorus] [Madd Kapp - singing] I got a one-way Greyhound bus ticket, hate to fly The next stop, Ashland Kentucky, cause that's as far as they ride I got a duffel bag of clothes and a old broken down 4-track Stoppin at the store on the top of the mountain and man it's good to be back Can't wait to see my cousins, my Aunt Toe and my Uncle Bud In the mornin eatin biscuits and gravy and all that Southern grub I wish my mam-ma was here so I could hear her voice But I know she's watchin over all the granddaughters and grandboys (We still here) In - [Chorus] [Outro] Yeee-HAH~!
