Caught like a deer  in my own headlights,
A  Asus2       A         E  
Frozen   on    this road tonight.
  A   Asus2       A      D     A   
I had a     fix   on the brightest star,
A   Asus2       A    E     A   
Now I'm   not   sure where you are.

North is south and east is west,
D                     A      E
Where's the love that I knew best?
A   Asus2       A    D A  
Shifting  in    this i-cy wind,
A  Asus2       A   E  A  
Howlin'  down  the Cumberland.

You're in this  val-  ley that I love,
A    Asus2       A      A     E 
Cold and   far   as the stars a-bove.
     A    Asus2       A     D      A  
Do I have to    wait  'till spring is here,
A    Asus2       A   E    A   
Just to    hold  you warm and near?

D               A
Dead of winter, dead of night,
D                A       E
Not much time to make it right.
  A    Asus2            A    D     A  
I know where that lone- some sound begins,
A  Asus2       A   E  A   
Howlin'  down  the Cumberland.

Just a     crea- ture in the dark,
A   Asus2       A        E  
Longing   for   one blessed spark.
   A    Asus2       A   D    A    
To burn the   sky   and heed the night,
     A    Asus2       A  E   A    
With love re-   born  by morning light.

But nature doesn't heed the call,
D              A            E
Nature just commands that's all.
A   Asus2         A D  A     
Now my    love's a cutting wind,
A  Asus2       A   E  A   
Howlin'  down  the Cumberland.
