Cover Me Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 I'd never seen 'Til you came along [Chorus] 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 And carries this house on the Stones like a piece of driftwood Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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
