?You can lay down your burden, you can lay down your pride
When you’ve got a woman to lay down beside

Trapped within the walls of my own selfish soul?
When the good Lord looked down, saw the tears that I cried
And He gave me a woman to lay down beside
And when you’ve got a woman to lay down beside
?She can hold you together on the darkest night?
You can lay down your burden, you can lay down your pride
When you’ve got a woman to lay down beside
Lay down, lay down?

Lay down, lay down?
On my darkest night
?By this beautiful woman, gonna lay down
