West of the Cumberlands

Clouds of hope hang in the fallow fields by the road
It’s what you see west of the Cumberlands, where the skies open up
Leaving Carolina, many miles to go
Pouring out of the mountains, to the valley of the Ohio

Another day between the lines the wide world slowly spinning
And another night wearing this damn dress on its hanger swingin’
Lost in space, lost on the highway, lost in time
For a couple hundred dollars, dinner and 2 glasses of wine

Leave the light on baby when I go
I’m coming home fore the dawn

Ain’t no regrets would make me do it all again
The way I see it now is cause the places that I been
(Now I’m) livin’ living on borrowed time, ain’t got time to lose
The babies gonna all grow up, all go off to school

CHORUS:
Leave the light on baby when I go
I’m coming home fore the dawn
Leave the light on baby I’m comin’ home
I’ll find my way with it shining on the Horizon

Castro’s dead but they’ll find someone new to blame
Always wanting you to change your ways, change your game
But your spirit wrestles free like a locust from its shell
Writhing and searching and screaming like hell
