"God's Country" was written by the dark horse himself Devin Dawson, alongside Jordan Schmidt, and country newcomer Hardy.
Blake explains that song is a track that has a strong and deeply meaningful lyrics, but at the same time, it leaves it up to the listener's interpretation.
âWell, I can tell you one thing for damn sure, Oklahoma is Godâs country,â Shelton told CMT.com. âSo thatâs where we shot the music video for the song. We spent four days shooting there, in and around Tishomingo, getting connected to the land, the environment and the spirit of the music. As Iâve said before, I was born in Oklahoma, and Iâll be buried there.â
The song, resonated with Shelton the first time he heard it.
ââGodâs Countryâ is a song that has a strong and deep meaningful lyric, but at the same time it leaves it up to the listenersâ interpretation,â Shelton said in a statement with the press.âBut no matter where you are from or where youâre standing it is my belief that youâre standing in Godâs Country. Itâs really about a state of mind. Wherever youâre from and how you feel about that place. For me, itâs about being from Oklahoma â where I was born, raised and still live today.â
