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
In 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 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 the stones like a piece of drift wood
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
