jason isbell - cover me up (live) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun, we 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
oh, but i made it through, ’cause somebody knew i was meant for someone

[chorus]
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]
i put your faith to the test when i tore off your dress in richmond on high
oh, but i sobered up, i swore off that stuff forever this time
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 ’til you came along

[chorus]
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]
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, i ain’t goin’ out to chop wood
cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good

[outro]
cover me up and know you’re enough to use me for good

[interlude]
thank you so much, thank you
it’s been a long time since we started the show with that song
usually we save that one ’til the end just for the people who only come to hear that song
so they don’t leave before the end
