Cover Me Up

Cover Me Up - 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 scene

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
