Lights up the River

[Verse 1]
Sweet magnolia blooms
In the shade of a pink mimosa tree
From the shadow of the moon
Dusting off the Bible, marking the page
Her favorite verse to pray

[Pre-Chorus]
Please forgive me for the things I've done
Unmarked grave and a loaded gun

[Chorus]
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Up on the horizon, shining like diamonds
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Silently waiting, be your salvation
She's a woman scorned

[Verse 2]
Tempted by forbidden fruit
Followed in her footsteps
Through the dust and the dew
Leads to antebellum blues
And a neon sign that's covered in kudzu
Like memories of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Please forgive me for the things I've done
Unmarked grave and a loaded gun
And keep your eyes off her

[Chorus]
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Up on the horizon, shining like diamonds
Lights up the river, lights up the river, yeah
Silently waiting, be your salvation
She's a woman scorned

[Pre-Chorus]
Please forgive me for the things I've done
Unmarked grave and a loaded gun
And keep your eyes off her

[Chorus]
Lights up the river, lights up the river, yeah
Up on the horizon, shining like diamonds
Lights up the river, lights up the river, yeah
Silently waiting, be your salvation
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Up on the horizon, shining like diamonds
Lights up the river, lights up the river
Silently waiting, be your salvation
She's a woman scorned

[Outro]
La la, la la la
La la, la la la, la
La la, la la la
La la, la la la, la
