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, 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   And drinkin' this homemade wine   Hey, if the sun don't come up tomorrow   People, I have 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, I'm drinkin' his beer and dialin' up the request lines   Mama and old aunt Joan   Probably in the dinin' room, tryin' to use the phone   Me, I'm thinkin' about that girl and later tonight      I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind   I'm catchin' 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 have had a good time   I?m just laid up here in a country state of mind      You know, the red necks and the preppies   They are in their discos and honky-tonks   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 U.S.A'      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      Yodlehehoo, odlehehoo, odleee
