Cover Me Up Lyrics - Southeastern - Jason Isbell

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 

In days when we raged 

We flew off the page 

Such damage was done 

But I made it through 

To somebody new 

I was meant for someone 

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 going out to chop wood 

So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Put your faith to the test 

When I tore off your dress 

In Richmond all night 

I sobered up 

I swore off that stuff 

Forever this time 

And the old lovers see 

I'd thought it'd be me 

Who helped him get home 

But home was a dream 

One I'd never seen 

Til you came along 

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 

Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood 

Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

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 going out to chop wood 

So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good 

And know you're enough 

To use me for good
