[00:11.06]A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun, it can’t trust anyone
[00:22.07]I was so sure what I needed was more, tried to shoot out the sun
[00:32.86]In days when we raged, we flew off the page, such damage was done
[00:44.02]But I made it through, ’cause somebody knew, I was meant for someone
[00:56.31]So girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain’t leavin’ this room
[01:07.45]’Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
[01:18.45]It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
[01:27.98]So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[01:36.35]
[01:49.85]Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress in Richmond on high
[02:01.49]I sobered up, I swore off that stuff forever this time and the old lovers sing
[02:14.62]”I thought it’d be me who helped him get home”
[02:23.08]But home was a dream, one I’d never seen ’til you came along
[02:35.14]So girl, hang your dress up to dry, we ain’t leavin’ this room
[02:46.58]’Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
[02:57.65]Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood
[03:07.03]Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[03:16.41]
[03:41.57]So girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain’t leavin’ this room
[03:52.47]’Til someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
[04:03.35]It’s cold in this house and I ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
[04:12.86]So cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
[04:24.06]Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
