Cumberland Sound Lyrics

This old hound is St. Marys bound
And this old hound has still got a ways to go
Spend the first half of your just trying to run away
Spend the second half just trying to get back home
Chorus:
To the Cumberland Sound
Someday Ill cross that river and settle down
Like voices from the timber, I cant get it out of my head
Its all I hear
Cotton aint the king no more, Kudzu is
Its swallowing up the land and choking off the life
Inch by inch it pushed me to the precipice
Gonna wade right in that water and float on down
Chorus:
This old hound is St. Marys bound
And this old hound aint nowhere near there yet
But the ground been frozen since the new year
And the cold dry air lies hard against my veins
Chorus:
