[00:00.00]Cumberland Gap - Jason Isbell/the 400 Unit
[00:30.13]There's an answer here if I look hard enough
[00:36.14]There's a reason why I always reach for the harder stuff
[00:41.63]It wasn't my daddy's way
[00:44.46]He was down in the mines all day
[00:48.13]I know he wanted more than mouths to feed and bills to pay
[00:54.72]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[01:00.58]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[01:05.67]I ain't cut out for war unless I know what I'm fighting for
[01:11.95]And there's nothing here but churches bars and grocery stores
[01:17.47]Ain't much money in the old time mandolin
[01:23.77]So I cash my check and I drink 'til I'm on my a** again
[01:30.42]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[01:36.21]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[01:42.06]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[01:48.43]Remember when we could see the mountain's peak
[01:54.37]The sparkle off the amphibole
[02:00.44]Like a giant golden eagle's beak
[02:06.07]Now they say no one wants the coal
[02:10.70]I thought about moving away
[02:13.93]But what would my mama say
[02:17.27]I'm all that she has left and I'm with her every day
[02:22.75]As soon as the sun goes down
[02:25.40]I find my way to the Mustang Lounge
[02:29.21]And if you don't sit facing the window
[02:31.50]You could be in any town
[02:35.79]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[02:41.70]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[02:47.55]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
[02:53.41]Maybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows you whole
