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
* 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
I sobered up, and I swore off that stuff, forever this time
And the old lovers’ say, 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
Cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good
