A heart on the run keeps a hand on the 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 leavin' this room
'Til 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, I swore off that stuff Forever this time And the old lovers 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 leavin' this room 'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide And the river runs through
And carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood 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 leavin' this room
'Til 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 So cover me up and know you're enough ♪ To use me for good
