verse 4 :
we burn the cotton fields down in the valley
and ended up with nothing but scars
scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war
there ain’t nothing but the [ truth/tunes ] of magnolia mountain
where nobody ever dies
steady your soul and ease your worry
they got room

chorus :
lie to me like i lie to you
hold me down until the morning comes
and if the morning don’t come
will you lie to me
will you take me to your bed
will you lay me down
ti’l i’m heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
that my savior made
. . . please
