Paroles de 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
