Jimmy Buffett
Cumberland High Dilemma
[Verse 1]
It's been a little fever and maybe Bucky Beaver
Who made me pull the lever and leave once again
We chose just not to marry but go ahead and carry
All of our earthly goods and go to live out in the woods
[Verse 2]
Midnight on the mountain and you watch the clouds roll by
Country air's appealin' but there's more than meets the eye, meets the eye
Moonlight on the cabin, it's too damn cold to sleep
Your head turns from my pillow so I can't see you weep, see you weep, Sarah, sleep
[Verse 3]
Stoned alone together, least the city streets have drains
Standing here ass high up in the rain, longin' for Boston once again
Sarah's cold and hungry and the baby's due anyday
Stuck up in high country and it don't thaw out 'til May, here we'll stay
[Verse 4]
Mountain fever's on me and tonight the truck broke down
Doctor in the valley but we can't get in to town, he don't come 'round
Sarah cried for Boston and her mother late last night
I reassured her everything was tight but I'm not sure that it's all right
[Outro]
Midnight on the mountain and you watch the clouds roll by
Country air's appealin' but there's more than meets the eye
Meets the eye
