This is another one from the "Dead dying or doing time" project.

BC and Steve Hanlon were good enough to get me focused on these lyrics, thanks again.


I will cover you
October 29, 2006

Pieces of the sunrise
Go mostly unseen
Working people struggle
With lines they live between
Have nots and the haves
Too many and too few
Hell bent on survival
A choice we did not choose
Cover me, I will cover you

So I try to understand
The ways of this world
So I try to make a plan
And give it a whirl
It's a long way back to Jackson
A few things left to do
A 3 way split in Mobile
My partner cut with two
Cover me, I will cover you


Talking on the telephone
I sift the evening news
It fills our conversation
Threads me to you
I have never shot a man
That is what I came to do
Saw my 15 minutes
Seemed more like deja vu
Cover me, cover me, I will cover you
