[Verse]
GI drive a snow plough – Cumberland CCounty
CovGered up with flashing lights and chainsD.
GI’ve got a contract with the Cumberland TCownship
To keep Gtheir county rDoads cleanG.
GI was born and raised up – Cumberland CCounty.
GAll my good friends – they live thereD.
GThey flash their porch lights when I go by.C  
GLately I just Ddon’t care.G  
[Chorus]
And there’s a curve out Con the old town line.
It aGlways drifts in exactly the same.
I can take Dit out with just one sweep –
GMy plough turned a particular way,
And it never Cstops snowin’ in Cumberland County
So my Gwork don’t ever get done,Em  
But latGely I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
StraiDght into the sun.G  
[Verse]
GRaised me some kids up – Cumberland CoCunty,
But I Gdon’t see ‘em much anymoreD.
GShe said she was tired of the same old stoCries –
TiGred of the sparks against the snowD.
[Chorus]
And there’s a curve out Con the old town line.
It aGlways drifts in exactly the same.
I can take Dit out with just one sweep –
GMy plough turned a particular way,
And it never Cstops snowin’ in Cumberland County
So my Gwork don’t ever get doneEm,
But latGely I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
StraiDght into the sunG.
[Bridge]
And you can be anythinCg that you wanna be –
GThat’s what they tol’ me when I left school.
I toDok the first thing they offered me.
Now I’m juGst another snow-blind fool.
And it never Cstops snowin’ in Cumberland County
So my work don’t ever get doneEm,
But lateGly I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
StraDight into the sunG.
GLately I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
