Cover Me Up Songtext
von Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

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

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, 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 on high
But I sobered up, 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

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
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, I ain′t going 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

Thank you very much
