Cover Me Up - Recorded at Spotify Studios NYC

A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun

You 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

So girl, leave your boots by the bed

We ain't leaving this room

Till 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

Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress

In Richmond all high

But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff

Forever this time

And the old lover's sing

"I thought it'd be me who helped him get home"

But home was a dream

One I'd never seen till you came along

So girl, hang your dress up to dry

We ain't leaving this room

Till Percy Priest breaks open wide

And the river runs through

Carries this house on the stones

Like a piece of driftwood

So cover me up and know you're enough

To use me for good

So girl, leave your boots by the bed

We ain't leaving this room

Till 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

To use me for good
