The country I’m a-livin’ in is nearer to the sun
Higher to heaven than the place we’re born
And the train came from
Wanna stick around for the mornin’ sun
The only sun I care about I get from my own child
I’d like to see my woman
But I can live with steel ‘n’ slide
I wanna stick around for the mornin’ flight
Headed back to God’s own country
Headed back to God’s own land
With that same old restless feelin’ in my heart
In my brand new rock ‘n’ roll band
Brand new rock ‘n’ roll band
The only sun I care about I get from my own child
I’d like to see my woman
I can live with steel ‘n’ slide
I wanna stick around for the mornin’ flight

Headed back to God’s own country
Headed back to God’s own land
With that same old restless feelin’ in my heart
In my brand new rock ‘n’ roll band
Brand new rock ‘n’ roll band
Headed back to God’s own country
Headed back to God’s own land
With that same old restless feelin’ in my heart
In my brand new rock ‘n’ roll band
Brand new rock ‘n’ roll band
