SannaBlue Baker - Pirates of the Cumberland Lyrics

Maggie and me, we were raised on the river
Getting up at sunrise to try to catch dinner
Mama would tell us if the sky should turn black
You kids get your paddles and get that boat back

We go floating downstream
Looking for things we've never seen
We see life as we want it to be
On the Cumberland River
Living the dream

Maggie and me, we were wild, we were free
Brother and sister on the Cumberland Sea
We go down the river, the creeks and the streams
Acting like pirates in childhood dreams

We go floating downstream
Looking for things we've never seen
We see life as we want it to be
On the Cumberland River
Living the dream

One day we were fishing and a storm blew in fast
Red skies were ahead and black skies were in back
I can hear Mama calling, she's there all alone
We better move fast if we're going to get home

Cause when the storm clouds blow
And the whitecaps roll
Don't be on the Cumberland
Mama is waiting with arms open wide
The storm blows through and we're safe inside

The years may have passed and sometimes memories fade
But the memory of the river and Maggie still stays

We go floating downstream
Looking for things we've never seen
We see life as we want it to be
On the Cumberland River
Living the dream
