That hot ol 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 ... pass that bottle Ill have me a swig
I aint got a lot, but I think I got it made (in the shade)
Im just laid up here in a country state-of-mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
And drinkin this homemade wine
Hey, if the sun dont come up tomorrow, ... people Ive had a good time
Im just laid up here in a country state-of-mind
I bet the old mans in the kitchen ... hes got my kind of music on his radio
Oh, drinkin his beer and dialin up the request lines
Momma and ol Aunt Joan ... are probably in the dining room tryin to use the phone
Me, Im thinkin about that girl and later tonight
Im just laid up here in a country state-of-mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
And drinkin this homemade wine
Hey, if the sun dont come up tomorrow, ... people Ive had a good time
Im just laid up here in a country state-of-mind
You know the red necks and the hippies ... theyre in their discos and honkytonks
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Lord I know just how they feel ... you gotta get out and kick up your heels
And aint it great to be livin in the USA
Me Im just laid up here in a country state of mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
And drinkin this homemade wine
Hey, if the sun dont come up tomorrow, ... people Ive had a good time
Im just laid up here in a country state-of-mind
Yoh da laydee oh ... da laydee oh ... da laydee
