A heart on the run, keeps a hand on the 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-on-high I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time And the old lovers’ say, I 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 the Percy Priest breaks open wide and the 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 Til someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s 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
