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
