Hmmmm-hmmmm-hmmmm
A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun
It can't trust anyone
But I was so sure what I needed was more
And tried to shoot out the Sun
And days when we raged, we flew off the page
Such damage's 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
Till 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
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 I'd never seen
Till you came along

So girl, hang your dress up to dry, we ain't leavin' this room
Till 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 leavin' this room
Till 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
Hmmmm-hmmmm-hmmmm
