Cumberland High Dilemma Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

By: Jimmy Buffett, Buzz Cason 

1993 

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 

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 

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 any day 

Stuck up in high country and it don't thaw out 'til May 

Here we'll stay... 

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... 

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...
