The Last House In God's Country

Writers: Jerry Salley, Alex Miller

Vs 1)
It was a little three-bedroom cedar-sided house
Built by my Daddy's own two hands
Hidden back where County Rd 550 ends
40 acres of a poor-man's piece of land
And when folks ask me where I was born and raised
I smile and say in

Chorus)
The Last House In God's Country
A little piece of Paradise back up in the hills
The Last House in God's Country
I thought it was Heaven then/there, guess I always will

Vs2)
I learned to drive a Massey tractor there when I was eight
How to plow a field and hoe a row of beans
Every Sunday mom would drag us boys to early church
Growing up there made that boy the man you see
And even though it's gone now they can't take away the mem'ries
We made in

Chorus

Br)
Lord, I won't need a mansion on the streets of gold
I'd gladly take a cabin on an old dead-end dirt road

Chorus
