Verse 1
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
 
Chorus 1
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t leavin’ this room
Someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s 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, when I tore off your dress, in Richmond all high
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
In the old lovers’ scene, 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
 
Chorus 2
So girl hang your dress up to dry, we ain’t leavin’ this room
Til the Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood
Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good

Chorus 1
So girl leave your boots by the bed we ain’t leavin’ this room
Til someone needs medical help or the magnolia’s 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
