A heart on the run
Keeps a hand on a gun
It can't trust anyone
I was so sure
What I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sun
In days when we raged
We flew off the page
Such damage was done
But I made it through
'Cause somebody knew
I was meant for someone
So girl leave your boots by the bed/we ain't leavin' this room
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
Put your faith to the test
When I tore off your dress
In Richmond all high
I sobered up
And I swore off that stuff
Forever this time
In the old lover's scene
I thought it'd be me
Who helped him get home
But home was dream
One that I'd never seen
Til you came along
So girl hang your dress up to dry/we ain't leavin' this room
Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
So girl leave your boots by the bed/we ain't leavin' this room
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
