    What do these lyrics mean????

    I really like this new song by Blake Shelton! I just can’t make sense of a few of the lines and it’s driving me nuts!!! I will paste the lyrics below but the main thing that’s driving me nuts is in the chorus. “ saved by the sound of the been found”???????what?!?!?

    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

    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

    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)

    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)
    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 six feet deep
    In God's country (Yeah, 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 (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

        Looks like a Kid Rock song.

          My first thought is it refers to the the line in Amazing Grace, "I once was lost, but now am found"?

            Play off the "I once was lost, but now I'm found."

            Church sounds maybe?

              Do you think the writer was referring to a church choir?

                blah...blah....one _____ town.....
                blah....blah..... dirt road....blah....
                blah....blah..... God's country....blah...

                Throw in all the hick hop buzzwords, then hick rap them to a hick hop beat.... It doesn't have to make any sense. It still passes for "country" music these days.

                      You could always ask the guy who wrote it.

                            That’s why why I just listen to Wheeler Walker Jr. their is absolutely no question about what his lyrics mean.
