Oh Cumberland |
Fire on the asphalt, L.A. freeway |
Santa Anna windstorm come blow me away |
This rear-view mirror could use some adjustment |
Some other reflection, some other place |
Oh Cumberland, I’m a faithful son |
No matter where I run, I hear you calling me |
Mississippi’s wide and long, St. Paul to New Orleans |
But my heart’s resting on your banks in Tennessee |
Lazy old river, not a lick of ambition |
You get to Kentucky then you roll on home |
If you were a highway, you wouldn’t go nowhere |
And I wouldn’t be lost out here all alone |
Oh Cumberland, I’m a faithful son |
No matter where I run, I hear you calling me |
Mississippi’s wide and long, St. Paul to New Orleans |
But my heart’s resting on your banks in Tennessee |
There’s a stolen river in the San Fernando |
Down in the valley in the shadow of greed |
But I have a memory knee deep in salvation |
Of that old muddy water that once washed me clean |
Oh Cumberland, I’m a faithful son |
No matter where I run, I hear you calling me |
Mississippi’s wide and long, St. Paul to New Orleans |
But my heart’s resting on your banks in Tennessee |
