Jason Sturgeon - The Cover lyrics

rate me

At the bottom of my dresser drawer, forgotten, put away,

There laid momma’s Bible that she gave me on my birthday.

The cover of that old Good Book was showing all its age

And just like me, my cover's worn, I’ve seen my better days.

When I was still a young boy, I seen trouble coming on

I had a chip upon my shoulder, still knew right from wrong

I fought my way through high school and I might have lost my way

Oh yes, I’ve done a lot of foolish things, I still found time to pray

Chorus:

It's the cover, not the pages that you see here tonight

A man that’s worn and tattered has a soul that's filled with light

And I know I'm a sinner, but there’s a saint inside of me,

Yes, I’m the pages, not the cover--if you could look inside you'd see.

Now it’s ten years later, and I’ve learned a thing or two,

I try to keep my distance from those things a troubled man will do

And I ask for forgiveness every day from up above,

I’m still trying not to hate, I'm still learning how to love!

Chorus:

It's the cover, not the pages that you see here tonight

A man that’s worn and tattered has a soul that's filled with light

And I know I'm a sinner, but there’s a saint inside of me,

Yes, I’m the pages, not the cover--if you could look inside you'd see.

Yes, I'm the pages, not the cover--if you could look inside you'd see.

Yes, I'm the pages, not the cover--if you could look inside you'd see.
