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
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
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
