God's Country
上帝的国度
Blake Shelton debuted his new single “God’s Country” on Friday (March 29).
布雷克·谢尔顿(BlakeShelton)于3月29日(星期五)首次推出他的新单曲《上帝的国度》。
The song serves as the lead track for his forthcoming studio album, and was written by country newcomers Devin Dawson and HARDY with Jordan Schmidt.
这首歌是他即将发行的室内专辑的主打曲目,由乡村新人戴文道森和哈代与乔丹施密特共同创作。
“‘God’s Country’ is a song that has a strong and deep meaningful lyric, but at the same time it leaves it up to the listeners interpretation,” Shelton said in a statement. “But no matter where you are from or where you’re standing it is my belief that you’re standing in God’s Country. It’s really about a state of mind. Wherever you’re from and how you feel about that place. For me it’s about being from Oklahoma – where I was born, raised and still live today.”
谢尔顿在一份声明中说:“‘上帝的国度’”是一首有着强烈而深刻意义的抒情歌曲,但同时它也留给了听众自己的诠释。但无论你来自何处,或站在何处,我都相信你站在上帝的国度。这真的是一种精神状态。无论你来自哪里,你对那个地方的感觉如何。对我来说,这是来自俄克拉荷马州——我在那里出生、长大,至今仍生活在那里。”
The track has a slight bluegrass feel with acoustic instrumentation. A press release describes “God’s Country” as an “electrifying foot-stomper that connects the listener to their roots.”
在声学仪器的帮助下,这首歌有点蓝草音乐的感觉。一份新闻稿将“上帝的国度”描述为一个“把听众和他们的根联系在一起的令人兴奋的踏板”。
Co-writer Dawson recently spoke to SiriusXM's Storme Warren about the track, saying, "I'm so proud of the song and so excited that he wanted to sing it. HARDY and I both come from a metal background and it's pretty heavy, but it still has the lyric that I need to chew on. It has heart. It really fits his voice so well."
共同作者道森最近对Siriusxm的Storme Warren谈到了这首歌,他说:“我为这首歌感到骄傲,他想唱这首歌也让我非常兴奋。哈代和我都有金属音乐背景,是重金属,但歌曲仍然有我需要琢磨的歌词。它歌曲很有心胸。这真的很适合他的声音。”
God's Country (Lyrics)
[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 it when it's fallen
'Cause it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We put it back in the play
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 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
[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 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)
[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 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 (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 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
