“Cover Me Up” Lyrics

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

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 leaving this room

Till 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

I 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 lovers sing

"I thought it'd be me 

Who helped him get home"

But home was a dream, 

One that I'd never seen

 Till you came along

So girl, hang your dress 

Out to dry

We ain't leaving 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 leaving this room

Till 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

So cover me up 

And know you're enough

To use me for good
