Cover Me Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun, 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] Girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leaving this room 'Til 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 [Verse 2] I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress in Richmond on high But I sobered up, yeah, I swore off that stuff forever this time And old lovers sang, "I thought it'd be me who helped him get home" But home was a dream, one that I'd never seen 'til you came along [Chorus] So girl, hang your dress up to dry, we ain't leaving 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 So baby, cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good Girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leaving this room 'Til 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 So cover me up and know you're enough tto use me for good [Outro] Sugar, cover me up and know you're enough To use me for good
