Cover Me Up

Jason Isbell
A heart on the run
"¨Keeps a hand on the gun
"¨You 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
"¨To somebody new
"¨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 going 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 night
"¨"¨I sobered up
"¨I swore off that stuff
"¨Forever this time
"¨"¨And the old lovers see
"¨I'd thought it'd be me
"¨Who helped him get home
"¨"¨But home was a dream
"¨One 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 going 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
