VERSE 1:
A heart on the Drun, keeps a hand on theG gun, it can't trust anDyone
I was so sure, Dwhat I needed was Gmore, tried to shoot out the Dsun
In days when we Bmraged, we flew off the Gpage, such damage was Ddone
But I made it Dthrough, 'cause somebody Gknew, I was meant for someDone
CHORUS 1:
So Dgirl leave your boots by the Gbed we ain't leavin' this Droom
DSomeone needs medical Ghelp or the magnolia's Dbloom
It's Emcold in this house and I Gain't goin' out to chop Bmwood
So cover me Dup and know you're eGnough to use me for Dgood

VERSE 2:
Put your faith to the Dtest, when I tore off your Gdress, in Richmond all Dhigh
I sobered Dup, and I swore off that Gstuff, forever this Dtime
In the old lovers' Bmscene, I thought it'd be Gme, who helped him get Dhome
But home was a Ddream, one I'd never Gseen, 'til you came aDlong
CHORUS 2:
So Dgirl hang your dress up to Gdry, we ain't leavin' this Droom
The DPercy Priest break's open Gwide and the river runs Dthrough*
EmCarries this house on the Gstones like a piece of driftBmwood
Cover me Dup and know you're eGnough to use me for Dgood
SOLO LIKE 2 LINES OF VERSE

Cover me Dup and know you're eGnough to use me for Dgood
