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
