Cover Me Up - Live

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
