A heart on the run
Keeps a hand on a gun
It can’t trust anyoneI was so sure
What I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sunIn days when we raged
We flew off the page
Such damage was doneBut I made it through
‘Cause somebody knew
I was meant for someone
Jason Isbell performs “Cover Me Up” (embedded video above or HERE for YouTube) at Austin City Limits. From album Southeastern.
(Isbell has just released a DVD of his entire ACL concert. It would make a great gift for any music lovers in your life. Available on Amazon HERE.)
Words for the Year 
Pretty, pretty.

I know you are appalled by a few of my “not favorite” artists that you love and I don’t…but rest assured, Jason Isbell has us firmly on the same page. Love this song and him. Thanks!

Haha! The only ones I knew of were the Avett Bros–you mean there are more?? 😉
I would seriously question the sanity of anyone who claimed to dislike Isbell. Be sure to watch him on the Americana awards too, airing on PBS this week.

Hmmmm not sure, I’m fairly neutral on Grey…I don’t know his stuff well enough. But if I was battling insomnia, anything is possible, lol.
