From the recording Down the Cumberland line
Lyrics
[Intro]
Well, the sun is risin', and the moon's just settin'
Got my boots on tight, ain't no room for forgettin'
[Verse 1]
Down the Cumberland line, where the river runs free
Where the songs of the mountains welcome you and me
With a one-horse town and a whiskey shot shine
We’ll dance through the night, all along the line
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a feeling in the air, can you hear that sound?
It's the melody of the river twirlin' all around
[Chorus]
So let’s go down, down the Cumberland line
Where the stars shine brighter, and the moon’s divine
Raise your glass high, let’s toast to tonight
We’re gonna dance on the banks, till the morning light
[Verse 2]
We got friends all around, laughter fills the air
In a circle on the porch, dancing without a care
With a strum of the guitar, we find our rhythm right
No troubles in the world when we’re feeling this light
[Pre-Chorus]
So throw your hands up high, let the dance floor sway
We’ll keep on singing ‘bout this life we made today
[Chorus]
So let’s go down, down the Cumberland line
Where the stars shine brighter, and the moon’s divine
Raise your glass high, let’s toast to tonight
We’re gonna dance on the banks, till the morning light
[Bridge]
Stars spinning like the stories that we tell
Every laugh and every tear, we remember so well
On this bridge of moments, we’re woven tight as twine
With every step we’ll take, we’re livin’ our design
[Chorus]
So let’s go down, down the Cumberland line
Where the stars shine brighter, and the moon’s divine
Raise your glass high, let’s toast to tonight
We’re gonna dance on the banks, till the morning light
[Outro]
So here’s to the future, and our memories fine
On this joyous journey, down the Cumberland line
[Slow fade of banjo and fiddle music]
We’ll dance through the night, on the Cumberland line
