[00:44.59]So lay me down
[00:51.23]In that open field out on the edge of town
[00:57.77]And know my soul
[01:04.20]Is where my mama always prayed that it would go

[01:37.71]I hope she fights like me
[01:41.17]And stands up for the innocent and the weak

[02:01.15]So lay me down
[02:08.09]In that open field out on the edge of town
