Oh Cumberland

Fire on the asphalt L.A. freeway Santa Anna windstorm come blow me away 'Cause 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 go I hear you calling me The Mississippi's wide long, St. Paul to New Orleans But my heart's resting on your banks in Tennessee Lazy ol' river not a lick of ambition Get to Kentucky then you roll on home If you were a highway you wouldn't go nowhere And I wouldn't be lost and all alone Oh Cumberland, I'm a faithful son No matter where I go I hear you calling me The Mississippi's wide 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 That old muddy water that once washed me clean Oh Cumberland, I'm a faithful son No matter where I go I hear you calling me The Mississippi's wide long, St. Paul to New Orleans But my heart's resting on your banks in Tennessee Oh Cumberland, oh Cumberland --- Oh Cumberland - Matraca Berg, Emmylou Harris and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
