Cover Me Up Lyrics

by Rodney Atkins

[Verse 1]
A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e119567-rodney_atkins~cover_me_up_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
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 and I ain't going 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
But I sobered up, yeah, I swore off that stuff forever this time
And old lover's sang "I thought it'd be me who helped him get home"
But home was a dream one that I'd never seen 'til you came along

[Chorus]
So 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
So baby 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 and I ain't going out to chop wood
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
So cover me up and know you're enough tto use me for good

[Outro]
Sugar cover me up and know you're enough
To use me for good
