A heart on the run
|
Keeps a hand on a 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 all high
|
|
I sobered up
|
And I swore that stuff
|
Forever this time
|
|
In the old lover's scene
|
I thought it'd be me
|
Who helped him get home
|
|
But home was 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 the stones like a piece of drift wood
|
|
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
|
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
|
