Lyrics
We're good country people, you and I
We identify as good country people.
We're keepin' to the Bible's teachin'
We adhere to the teachings of the Bible.
'Least for most of the day
At least for most of the day.
By the time I leave I'll have your arm and leg
Before I leave, I'll have your commitment and support.
Inside my bible briefcase and you'll
Your dedication will be with me, symbolized by putting your arm and leg inside my Bible briefcase.
Have the satisfaction
You'll have the satisfaction of knowing that God doesn't hate you.
Of knowing God don't hate you
Despite the implied difficulties, God's love is present.
(Even though he wants to)
There is a hint of irony, acknowledging that God may seem harsh.
Rest easy sleep at night
You can rest easy and sleep at night.
I don't know why you try to fight
Uncertain why there is resistance or opposition.
With the one who holds your life
Encouraging surrender to the one who controls your life.
Us good country people do it right
People like us, good country people, follow the right path.
Spurn evil keep to right lanes
Avoiding evil, staying in the correct lanes of life.
People won't infect our parade
Ensuring that negative influences do not disrupt our way of life.
We're not needy people
We are not dependent or in need.
Give to God, greedy people
We give to God, not to those driven by greed.
Say we're not good, we're evil
Rejecting the notion that we are not good; instead, we are righteous.
And we still have too much but
Despite having plenty, there is a recognition of having more than enough.
Our Father hears our prayers
Our prayers are heard by our Father.
(Our father lord of liars)
(Our father lord of liars) - Suggests skepticism or doubt about the truthfulness of prayers being answered.
I'll rest easy sleep at night
I will rest easy and sleep peacefully at night.
I'll give just enough and never fight
I will give just enough without engaging in conflict.
With the one who holds my life
Encouraging harmony with the one who holds my life.
