Church On Cumberland Road Lyrics

Church On Cumberland Road lyrics

Verse 1:
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'.

Chorus:
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.

Verse 2:
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!

(Chorus)

Verse3:
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.

(Chorus)
