Verse:
G                 C
I drive a snow plough – Cumberland County
  G                   D
Covered up with flashing lights and chains.
G                    C
I’ve got a contract with the Cumberland Township
    G       D     G
To keep their county roads clean.
G                   C
I was born and raised up – Cumberland County.
G                  D
All my good friends – they live there.
G                     C
They flash their porch lights when I go by.
G      D      G
Lately I just don’t care.

Chorus:
            C
And there’s a curve out on the old town line.
  G
It always drifts in exactly the same.
     D
I can take it out with just one sweep –
G
My plough turned a particular way,
      C
And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County
   G            Em
So my work don’t ever get done,
    G
But lately I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
   D        G
Straight into the sun.

Raised me some kids up – Cumberland County,
   G             D
But I don’t see ‘em much anymore.
G                     C
She said she was tired of the same old stories –
 G                 D
Tired of the sparks against the snow.

Chorus:
            C
And there’s a curve out on the old town line.

It always drifts in exactly the same.

I can take it out with just one sweep –
G
My plough turned a particular way,

And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County

Straight into the sun.

Bridge:
           C
And you can be anything that you wanna be –
G
That’s what they tol’ me when I left school.

I took the first thing they offered me.
     G
Now I’m just another snow-blind fool.

And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County
