Cover Me Up

A heart on the run keeps her hand on a gun

Can't trust anyone

I was so sure what I needed was more

Tried to shoot out the sun

And days that 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

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 while I tore off your dress

In Richmond on High

I sobered up, 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 that 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

Carries this house on its Stones like a piece of driftwood

And 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
