A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun Can`t trust anyone I was so sure what I needed was moreTried to shoot out the sun
The 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 on high I sobered up, I swore off that stuff Forever this time And the old lovers sing 'I thought it`d be me who helped him get home' But home was a dream, one that I`d never seen `Til you came along
So girl, hang your dress out to dry We ain`t leavin` this room `Til Percy Priest breaks open wide And the river runs through And carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood So 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 So cover me up and know you`re enough To use me for good
