Cover Me Up

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

'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 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 on high

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 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 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

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

Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
