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
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
put your faith to the test when i tore off your dress
in richmond on high
but i sobered up and 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 the 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
