Lyrics:

A heart on the run

Keeps a hand on a gun

Can't trust anyone

I was so sure

What I needed was more

Tried 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 leaving 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

I 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 lover's 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 leaving this room

'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide

And the river runs through

And carries this house on its stones

Like a piece of driftwood

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 leaving 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

So cover me up and know you're enough

To use me for good
