Back To Cumberland Gap

There was a mist over the mountain the morning when you left
I wiped my eyes asking why and could only blame myself
I should’ve listened, said I love you, done more than I did
I should’ve paid attention to all the little things you said

Been sitting here staring at empty frames
‘Cause you took all our pictures with you
And only memories remain

Like the day when we drove to Tennessee
And I held you on a blanket near the creek
I’d give anything to go back
To Cumberland Gap

The trees were red and orange; the sky was clear and blue
The sun was golden yellow but my eyes were fixed on you
You tickled me and I said “You’d better cut that out”
Next thing you know we were on the ground rolling ‘round and ‘round

You kissed me when I brushed back your hair
I wish I could find the man that fell in love
With that girl lying there

On the day when we drove to Tennessee
And I held you on a blanket near the creek
I’d give anything to go back
To Cumberland Gap

There’s still a chance for you and me
The creek’s still here, and you should see the trees
I can’t accept all we have left

Is that day when we drove to Tennessee
And I held you on a blanket near the creek
I’d give anything if you’d come back
To Cumberland Gap

To Cumberland Gap
