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
