Fred Eaglesmith - Cumberland County lyrics

rate me

I drive a snowplow

Cumberland County

Covered up with flashing lights and chains

I got the contract with a Cumberland Township

Keep all their county roads clean

I was born and raised up

Cumberland County

All of my good friends they live there

They flash their porch lights when I go by

Lately, I just don't care

And there's a curve out on the old town line

It always drifts in exactly the same

I can take it out with just one sweep

My plow turned a particular way

But it never stops snowing in Cumberland County

And my work don't ever get done

But lately I've been thinking of driving this snowplow

Straight into the sun

Raised me some kids up

Cumberland County

But I don't see 'em much now anymore

She said she was tired of the same old stories

Tired of the sparks against the snow

And there's a curve out on the old town line

It always drifts in exactly the same

I can take it out with just one sweep

My plow turned a particular way

But it never stops snowing in Cumberland County

And my work don't ever get done

But lately I've been thinking of driving this snowplow

Straight into the sun

And you can be anything that you want to be

That's what they told me when I left school

I took the first thing they offered me

Now I'm just another snow blind fool

And it never stops snowing in Cumberland County

And my work don't ever get done

And lately I've been thinking of driving this snowplow

Straight into the sun

And lately I've been thinking of driving this snowplow

Straight into the sun

And lately I've been thinking of driving this snowplow

Straight into the sun
