Cover Me Up
Jason Isbell
Letra

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
