[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
