lyrics

You slid my badge at six-ten, left it on the bench

While I tied my boots by the locker, still smelling like wrench

You took the heat in the front room, I heard it through the wall

When Mr. Kane came looking hard, you told him nothing at all

I saw your lunchbox on the sill, red paint chipped and worn

You gave me cover like a prayer before the shift was born

I tried to say it in the break room, but the words got thin

So I kept my mouth shut, brother, let the quiet win

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

At the punch clock by the freight door, rain on the concrete seam

You took the second question, kept my name clean

I watched your hands on the clipboard, grease under the nails

Never once you threw me under, never once you failed

Now the machine room sings low, and the line keeps moving on

Your boots leave marks on the powder where the daylight comes

I heard the foreman talking, but you stood there calm and still

Like a shield made out of hard steel, like a god in the mill

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

When the siren cuts the ceiling and the ash drifts down

You keep my name off the paper, keep my head out the ground

So I’ll bring you black coffee in a paper cup

And if they ask who stood for me, I’ll say you stepped up

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me

You covered me, covered me
