Cover Me Up

Music: Jason Isbell A heart on the run Keeps a hand on a 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
Til 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 all high I sobered up And I swore that stuff
Forever this time In the old lover's sing I thought it'd be me Who helped him get home
But home was dream One that I'd never seen
Til you came along
So girl hang your dress up to dry we ain't leavin' this room
Til Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood
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
Til 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
Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
