Jason Isbell - Cumberland gap

^AmThere’s an answer here if I look hard enough There’s a reason I always reach for the har^Gder stuff ^AmIt wasn’t my daddy’s way. He was down in the mines all day And though he wanted more than mouths to feed and ^Gbills to pay

^FMaybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows^C you w^Ghole ^FMaybe the Cumberland Gap just swallows^C you w^Ghole

^AmI ain’t cut out for war unless I know what I’m fightin’ for And there’s nothing here but churches, bars and gro^Gcery stores ^AmThere ain’t much money here in the Old Time Mandolin So I cash my check and I drink till I’m on my a^Gss again

^BbRemember when we could see the ^Cmountain's peak? ^BbThe sparkle off the am^Cphibole? ^BbLike a giant golden eagle's beak ^{C Bb}Now they say no one wants the^G coal

^AmI thought about moving away But what would my mama say? I'm all that she has left and I'm with her ^Gevery day ^AmAs soon as the sun goes down I find my way to the Mustang Lounge And if you don't sit facing the window You could be in ^Gany town
