- Devin Dawson - "God's Country" (My Take)
Y’all know that songwriting has been and always will be my truest form of expression. Any time I get the chance to help someone else say what they’re trying to say, I’m honored. Never in a million years did I ever dream it would be BLAKE SHELTON that would give me my first #1 as a songwriter but I AM HERE FOR IT. To celebrate ‘GOD’S COUNTRY’ being a multiple week #1 - I thought it would be cool to record a video of me doing my own version... & as always, I wanted y’all to get to see/hear it first. Hope y’all enjoy my acoustic take on a song that means a hell of a lot to me. Cheers! -DD

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!
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
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?
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
Gritty as f**k. Love this kind of music.
Real country my friend.
You can really sing this song from the bottom of your soul. I love it.
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!
Absolutely LOVE this..! THAT is the sound I shoot for EVERY time I mix acoustic guitar and vocals.
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.
Devin, thanks for sharing. this has become an instant favorite. i really love the acoustic version.
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.
Add to spotify please?
Friendly Stooges You listen to his music often?
Does it matter?
This gave me chills. I bet he'd be amazing at singing bluegrass too.
What a voice!!!! Can't stop listening to it over and over😍❤
God bless America🇺🇸🙏🏼
Amen
@@AshtonG2022 what
@@AshtonG2022 are you a idiot i said that to god bless america if you wold take your 2 brain cells and use them you could figure it out

Thank you so much for doing what you do your music is a part of my life I love being part of the Dark Horse Family 🖤
The authenticity of hearing the song writer perform just makes it for me! Plus he’s legit as hell!
Dude you wrote one amazing song and thank you for bringing this one into the country music scene!!!! Congratulations on such a huge hit!
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
Unreal vocals unreal artist. I literally can’t stop listening
I Love this fresh take and passion. WTG!
[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 ✋
Congrats on the #1, Devin!!
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.
Love your writing and the acoustic version! This has to hit the charts somehow
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
