Drop D

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

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

 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

Change Key Up 1 Step(2 frets)

 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
