cumberland road

riding on the rails of the night train son

i fought the bottle and the bottle won

i take it on down to save my pride

here are my keys

i'm too drunk to drive

chug-a-lug-a-lug

son

drink it up

don't stop now it won't be enough

you gotta get to the point of no return

you gotta paint the town or watch it burn

i'm chasin' down the whiskey on a friday night

one more bartender and i'll be alright

i stumbled my ass through the swingin' doors

and i make my way down cumberland road

my feet keep a-walkin' but my mind's lost

i'm gonna to make it to the house no matter the cost

there better be some beer

there better be some booze

just two more blocks before this walk's through

i walk through the door through the smoke and the haze

looks like all my friends been drinkin' for days

somethin' on the counter

lord

strikes my eyes

there's two shots left

son

let's take a ride

night train

i'm chasin' down the whiskey on a friday night

one more bartender and i'll be alright

i stumbled my ass through the swingin' doors

and i make my way down cumberland road
