| 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, 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
|
| Catchin these fish like they’re goin out of style
|
| Drinkin this homemade wine
|
| Hey, if the sun don’t come up tomorrow
|
| People, I’ve 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
|
| He’s got my kind of music on his radio
|
| Oh, 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
|
| Oh, yeah
|
| I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind
|
| Hey, I’m atchin these fish like they’re goin out of style
|
| I’m drinkin this homemade wine
|
| And if the sun don’t come up tomorrow
|
| People, I’ve had a good time
|
| I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind
|
| You know, the red necks and the hippies
|
| They are 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 ain’t it great to be livin in the USA
|
| Me, I’m laid up here in a country state of mind
|
| Catchin these fish like they’re goin out of style
|
| And drinkin this homemade wine, all the time
|
| If the sun don’t shine tomorrow
|
| People, I have had a good time
|
| I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind
|
| (I know where Hank Jr is)
|
| Yodel-ay-ee-oh, yodel-ay-ee-oh
|
| Yodel-ay-ee-hee
|
| Hee, hee |
