Lyrics
A heart on the run keeps her hand on a gun Can't trust anyone I was so sure what I needed was more Tried to shoot out the sun And days that 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 while 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 up to dry, we ain't leavin' this room 'Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through Carries this house on its Stones like a piece of driftwood And 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
