the church on cumberland road

just about a mile off-a one-oh-nine

there's a little church sittin' back in the pines. i promised that girl she was gonna be mine;

i wouldn't be surprised if she was standin' there cryin'. wo-ah

i didn't know this bored-out ford could go so slow. wo-ah

you got to put your foot down on the floor

yeah we've been rocking all night

now

don't you know

you gotta get me to the church on cumberland road. billy's passed out in the back

but i think he's alive. bobby's got his head hangin' over the side. here we are doin' only ninety-five. what's the matter with you

man? i thought you said you could drive!

wo-ah

i didn't know this bored-out ford could go so slow. wo-ah

you got to put your foot down on the floor

yeah we've been rocking all night

now

don't you know

you gotta get me to the church on cumberland road. sweeter than the dew on a honeysuckle vine

hotter than noon on the fourth of july

cutest little girl that i ever have known

waitin' at the church on cumberland road. wo-ah

i didn't know this bored-out ford could go so slow. wo-ah

you got to put your foot down on the floor

yeah we've been rocking all night

now

don't you know

you gotta get me to the church on cumberland road.
