Hmmmm-hmmmm-hmmmm A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun It can't trust anyone But I was so sure what I needed was more And tried to shoot out the Sun And days when we raged, we flew off the page Such damage's 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 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 leavin' 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 So 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 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 So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good Hmmmm-hmmmm-hmmmm
