jason isbell - cover me up (demo) 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 1]
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 2]
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

[chorus 1]
and 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 keep me for good
