Blake Shelton‘s number one hits count now totals twenty-six thanks to the success of his latest single! Less than four months since its radio debut, “God’s Country” tops both the Mediabase / Country Aircheck and Billboard Country Airplay charts!
Of the No. 1 Shelton said, “This is such a powerful song and I’m so proud to be a part of it. When I first heard the song I thought it sounded like a remedy. Like a cure. It just sounds like a missing link in country music for the last 10 or 12 years. It feels like a combination of ‘Ole Red’ and ‘Country Boy Can Survive’ to me which definitely have a place in country music. Those songs are just rare.”
With more than 125 million on-demand streams already, the song is the fastest country single in past year to reach one million track equivalents. “As long as I’ve been making music I’m still shocked and amazed at the power of a song and I’m never prepared for it,” said Shelton. “‘God’s Country’ is an anthem for anybody and everybody who’s proud of where they come from. I’m honored to have been given this song from Devin Dawson, Hardy and Jordan Schmidt who are incredible writers.”
Congrats to the star! We look forward to enjoying more of Blake Shelton’s number one hits as he continues to turn them out…
Blake Shelton’s Number One Hits: “God’s Country” Lyrics
Right outside of this one church town
There’s a gold dirt road to a whole lot of nothing
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 fallin’
‘Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We put it back in a plate, I guess that’s why they call it
God’s country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin’ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the being found
Dixie whistle 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
We turn the dirt and work until the week’s done
We take a break and break bread on Sunday
Then do it all again ’cause we’re proud to be
From God’s country (Yeah)
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin’ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the being found
Dixie whistle 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 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 6 feet deep in
God’s country
I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin’ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the being found
Dixie whistle 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, I saw the light in a sunrise
Sittin’ back in a 40 on the muddy river side
Gettin’ baptized in holy water and shine with the dogs runnin’
Saved by the sound of the being found
Dixie whistle 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
