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 Till 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 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 Till you came along So girl, hang your dress up to dry, we ain't leavin' this room Till Percy Priest breaks open wide and a river runs through Carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood 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 Till 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
