[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.
[Verse]
G C
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.
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.
[Bridge]
C
And you can be anything that you wanna be –
G
That’s what they tol’ me when I left school.
D
I took the first thing they offered me.
G
Now I’m just another snow-blind fool.
C
And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County
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.
G
Lately I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
D G
Straight into the sun.

Lately I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
