On This Side of the River Cumberland

On this side of the river Cumberland
The drums roar
You can feel the thunderin'
There are pathways through the woods
On the banks we trade our goods
Dogs, they bark and cats escape
Water boils and cornbread bakes
And the tribe is doin' well
Sitting round the firepit singin'

On this side of the river Cumberland
The storms roll
You can feel the rumblin'
It's like nothin' we've seen before
Half the town ain't here no more
City planners say they should
Redefine the neighborhood
So begins the exodus
Packin' up our stuff while singin'

On this side of the river Cumberland
It's changin'
You can read the marketin'
Some go bust while others boom
Who's the next big land tycoon
But the drums still thunder on
And the storms are far from gone
Dogs, they bark and cats run free
Life goes on in Tennessee
And the tribe is doin' well
Sittin' round the firepit singin'

On this side
On this side
On this side
