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 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
