Just wanted to make sure everyone knows Devin was a cowriter on this song which is why the "cover" is so close to the original, he literally wrote it, make sure we give him the credit he deserves!
I love the Blake Shelton rendition. But this here, this has that blues vibe and the simplicity with just an acoustic makes this song so much more soulful and impactful.
This gave me chills. What incredible talent. I'm so happy you made this video. I've listened to Blake sing this song so many times, but it's incredible hearing you sing the song that you wrote.
I’ve always liked this song, but now I love it, great voice great artist god bless you devin keep writing and well keep on being grateful to you for it!
Devin... Top Tier my friend ! The mental picture that you create, coupled with the transfer of emotion, wrapped in blood, sweat, and insight is UNPARALLELED when you create. You have THE GIFT unobtainable by 99% of Nash cred folk... no bullshit, your rhythm, beat that hits you like jumping off a four story building onto an overturned Flatbottom boat, all SEWN INTO THE FABRIC OF OUR DNA, supporting the SOUL of US "PIPEHITTIN' BLUE COLLAR HITTERS", that don't quit till the battle is won... EVERY DAY UNTIL OUR SKIN GROWS OLD AND THE BLOOD WON'T FLOW, PERIOD. Seriously for and from all of us, who listen to the result of your UNRIVALED GIFTS TO OUR HEARTS AND SOULS.... OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND.....KUDO'S AND THANK YOU SIR! SINCERELY, SETH HUGHES
I recall mentioning that you should record your own version.....so glad you did it. Love this version. Congratulations on your first #1 as a songwriter. We await more to come.
[Verse 1] Right outside of this one church town There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin' Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground This is God's country We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen 'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money We put it back in the plate I guess that's why they call it God's country [Chorus] I saw the light in the sunrise Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine With the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the been found Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound The devil went down to Georgia, but he didn't stick around This is God's country [Verse 2] We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done We take a break and break bread on Sunday And then do it all again 'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah, yeah) [Chorus] I saw the light in the sunrise Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine With the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the been found Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around This is God's country (Yeah) [Interlude] (This is God's country) God's country [Bridge] I don't care what my headstone reads Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in When it's my time, lay me six feet deep In God's country (Yeah, yeah) [Chorus] I saw the light in the sunrise Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine With the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the been found Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around This is God's country (God's country) Yeah, I saw the light in the sunrise Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine With the dogs runnin' Saved by the sound of the been found Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around This is God's country
I LOVE this version so much better... but I also LOVE Devin Dawson!!! Great voice🖤 I'm sure he made a lot more money giving it to Blake then he would have made on his own...but dude...keep songs this good for yourself!!!
Great to hear. Love to hear this song acoustic. Devin has some great low notes, what a deep voice. Fab to hear. Its a super song, great words and music. Like the monochrom video setting too.
Amazing talent...writing and singing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Keep up the writing. God blesses this Country through music like this.
I got a comment that this song is being recorded by a number of artists just like when Blake Shelton recorded Home. This song is a very great song and it works in a lot of different renditions with a lot of different artists I even heard a heavy metal version of this it's a great song
Excellent acoustic version and feeling you put in this song. I think you could scare the Bejesus towards Satan if he were to watch this video .....Saw you in the Hardy Video One Beer and had to learn more about your talent which brought me here. You young man is what gives hope that old country will not die before me sir! Don't sell out your inspiration on old country .
Fantastic talent all around. You’ve worked hard on your songwriting, sound, and look. Glad you got a huge hit, looking forward to when you are up front
Always better when the person who wrote the song sings it. Sounds the way it was meant to sound. Saw you with Tim McGraw in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan a few years ago. Been a fan ever since.
Though there are processes to getting more airplay,, I always gave you credit for this awesome song, having Blake get it on the map, doesn't bother me...Devin you are an awesome talent and there are thousands of us that follow you... I agree that I like this is a much better version ...keep going brother
This song was one he actually wrote. Sure everyone has heard blake Shelton's version. But I like this one actually. He wrote this song so he deserves so much credit for it
We need MORE OF YOU on Country Radio ! ! ! now THIS is Music ! ! ! More importantly THIS is COUNTRY MUSIC ! @blakeshelton take this song writer on TOUR ! ! ! He's made you a #1 hit, show him some love !
For sure this is some kick ass nice country my friend.....And the video is awesome ....Very professionally done . So happy to Like and sub her :) Thank you Itsjuustme for the turning me onto Devin's Channel👍🎤🎸👊

How did u know
Michael Hardy wrote it you noob.
This song had 3 writers
@@TheChaosJohnson You're right, Michael Hardy was the main one though.
He didn't write the singing, autotuned that. I also hate pride
For some reason I actually HEAR every word of every song Devin sings. His voice is very telling.
I know right
I love the Blake Shelton rendition. But this here, this has that blues vibe and the simplicity with just an acoustic makes this song so much more soulful and impactful.
Devon wrote this for blake
Nice right
Totally agree 👍
Ya I can sing this one pretty well it matches my voice
And I agree
Gritty as f**k. Love this kind of music.
Real country my friend.
This gave me chills. What incredible talent. I'm so happy you made this video. I've listened to Blake sing this song so many times, but it's incredible hearing you sing the song that you wrote.
A long time listener?
Holy shit! This stands the fur up! Amazing brother!
You can really sing this song from the bottom of your soul. I love it.
Always great to hear the songwriter/co-writer, sing their song. Devin Dawson’s voice just works so well for this....
Barbara Blake Heck yeah!
Dishsgsys
Hell yea
It's even better (for me) when Devin, Hardy and Blake's version all decide to play back to back lol
I love the way he sounds. True and authentic- my kinda country music 👍🏼
My favourite version out of the three talented guys with their names to it. Bluesy and soulful from start to finish 👌🏻👌🏻
Props to Devin and Hardy writing a great song and damn Blake Shelton cutting it is a dream for your pocketbook. You kill it in this acoustic set
I’ve always liked this song, but now I love it, great voice great artist god bless you devin keep writing and well keep on being grateful to you for it!

[Verse 1]
Right outside of this one church town
There's a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
Got a deed to the land, but it ain't my ground
This is God's country
We pray for rain, and thank Him when it's fallen
'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We put it back in the plate
I guess that's why they call it God's country
[Chorus]
I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia, but he didn't stick around
This is God's country
[Verse 2]
We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done
We take a break and break bread on Sunday
And then do it all again
'Cause we're proud to be from God's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is God's country (Yeah)
[Interlude]
(This is God's country)
God's country
[Bridge]
I don't care what my headstone reads
Or what kind of pine wood box I end up in
When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
In God's country (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is God's country (God's country)
Yeah, I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' back in the 40 on the muddy riverside
Gettin' baptized in holy water and shine
With the dogs runnin'
Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is God's country
You literally copy and pasted this from google
Don’t worry.. the rest of us appreciate the lyric post we all needed ✋
Absolutely LOVE this..! THAT is the sound I shoot for EVERY time I mix acoustic guitar and vocals.
Unreal vocals unreal artist. I literally can’t stop listening
The authenticity of hearing the song writer perform just makes it for me! Plus he’s legit as hell!
Add to spotify please?
Friendly Stooges You listen to his music often?
Does it matter?
Devin, thanks for sharing. this has become an instant favorite. i really love the acoustic version.
absolute crime that you had to give this to someone else for radioplay. Well done man, absurd talent all around.
Agreeeeeeeeed
He gets royalties and then the opportunity to see if people like his music overall . Trust me he aint mad about it .
Agreeeed
Man he didn’t HAVE to... that’s what the man does for a living. Made exponentially more money by pitching to a huge artist
Well don’t forget he wasn’t the sole composer of this song. It was him, HARDY and Jordan Schmidt.
Dude you wrote one amazing song and thank you for bringing this one into the country music scene!!!! Congratulations on such a huge hit!
I LOVE this version so much better... but I also LOVE Devin Dawson!!! Great voice🖤 I'm sure he made a lot more money giving it to Blake then he would have made on his own...but dude...keep songs this good for yourself!!!
Just beautiful.
Absolutely incredible
Beautiful setting for this video .
I dont even like country music but LOVE Devin.
Badass voice and skilled guitar playing. Would be great if you did more country covers!
Had the pleasure of hearing this performed live by you at the Opry. I was blown away. Would love to see your version available for purchase
Congrats on the #1, Devin!!
Come back to this from time to time just to appreciate those pipes 💯
Just seen Devin Dawson at the soaring eagle casino and I never heard his music and I really like it
Bad opinion probably but I’d loved to have heard this song sung by hank jr
REBEL WOLF 18 Is got a vibe similar to country boy can survive
REBEL WOLF 18 right me to from hank jr
I like how you think.
This was weak AF!
or Rhett Akins or daryle singletary
I think this is a good version and Bocepus would be excellent! But I would love to here Stapleton do it.
Amen brother
He definitely saved my soul! Hats off to a hell of a songwriter soon to be a singer!!!
👏🏼👏🏼 amazing as always, your so awesome can't wait to see you in concert again soon!
Britt_in_bloom You listen to his music often?
Yo dev. 100% my favorite country song
So good man, you deserve all you got from it brother! Keep killing it please!
Great to hear. Love to hear this song acoustic. Devin has some great low notes, what a deep voice. Fab to hear. Its a super song, great words and music. Like the monochrom video setting too.

Can't stop listening this song!
If this song doesnt send chills up your spine than you're heartless
yes mate!
Unreal. Beautiful tune
I Love this fresh take and passion. WTG!
Much as I like Blake's recording of your song I gotta say as a "been found" your version speaks deeper to me.
Wow... Love It. Very talented young man. thx for doing this "cover" of the song you co-wrote. Congrats for the #1 hit.
Wow. I love this cover.
Love this version best!
Amen brother!
I really like this version 🖤 Looking forward to hearing more

Oh my goodness kiddo ! That’s beautiful.... so happy for all your successes❤️

I love this song
Loveee his rasp & tone

It is lol the royalties are just as good as cutting the song
