A heart on the run Keeps a hand on the gun You 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 To somebody new 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 going 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 night
I sobered up I swore off that stuff Forever this time
And the old lovers see I'd thought it'd be me Who helped him get home
But home was a dream One 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 going 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
