Cover Me Up

[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
