[Verse 1]
Am There's an answer here if I look hard enough G There's a reason why I always reach for the harder stuff Am It wasn't my daddy's way. He was down in the mines all day G And though he wanted more than mouths to feed and bills to pay
[Chorus 1]
F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[Verse 2]
Am I ain't cut out for war, unless I know what I'm fightin' for G And there's nothing here but churches, bars and grocery stores Am There ain't much money in the old-time mandolin G So I cash my check and I drink till I'm on my ass again
[Chorus 2]
F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[Bridge]
Bb C Remember when we could see the mountain's peak? Bb C The sparkle off the amphibole? Bb C Like a giant golden eagle's beak Bb G Now they say no one wants the coal
[Verse 3]
Am I thought about moving away, but what would my mama say? G I'm all that she has left and I'm with her every day Am As soon as the sun goes down, I find my way to the Mustang Lounge G And if you don't sit facing the window you could be in any town
[Chorus 3]
F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole F C G Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
