Cumberland Gap |
| There’s an answer here, if I look hard enough |
| There’s a reason why I always reach for the harder stuff |
| It wasn’t my daddy’s way |
| He was down in the mines all day |
| I know he wanted more than mouths to feed and bills to pay |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| I ain’t cut out for war, unless I know what I’m fighting for |
| And there’s nothing here but churches, bars, and grocery stores |
| Ain’t much money in the old-time mandolin |
| So I cash my check and I drink 'til I’m on my ass again |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Remember when we could see the mountain’s peak? |
| The sparkle off the amphibole? |
| Like a giant golden eagle’s beak |
| Now they say no one wants the coal |
| I thought about moving away |
| But what would my mama say? |
| I’m all that she has left and I’m with her every day |
| As soon as the sun goes down |
| I find my way to the Mustang Lounge |
| And if you don’t sit facing the window |
| You could be in any town |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
| Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole |
