Cover art for Magnolia Mountain lyrics by Ryan Adams

I think Magnolia Mountain is about racism.

Chorus: religion lies to the us. It will forgive you for unspeakable acts.

Bluebird verse is about people wanting freedom from their own situation, whether it be race or physical.

Cotton fields burning verse: the reality of racism vs religion extremism. And how you can always ask for forgiveness even if you what you do is wrong.

That made my saviour made for me; and us: as in just us, not them.
