Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun You can't trust anyone I was so sure what I needed was more Tried to shoot out the sun 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 leaving this room Till someone needs medical help Or the magnolias bloom It's cold in this house and I ain't going 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 leaving 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 Cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good So girl, leave your boots by the bed We ain't leaving this room Till someone needs medical help Or the magnolias bloom It's cold in this house and I ain't going 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
