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
+
