Just about a mile off-a one-oh-nine
Theres a little church sittin back in the pines
I promised that girl she was gonna be mine
I wouldnt be surprised if she was standin there cryin
Whoa oa oh, I didnt know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Who oa oh, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah weve been rockin all night, but dont you know
You gotta get me to the Church on the Cumberland Road
Jimmys passed out in the back, lo I know hes alive
Mike hes got his head hangin over the side
Here we are doin only ninety-five
Whats the matter with you, man? I thought you said you could drive!
Whoa oa oh, I didnt know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Whoa oa oh, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah weve been rockin all night, but dont you know
You gotta get me to the Church on the Cumberland Road
Hey sweeter than the dew on a honeysuckle vine
Warmer than noon on the fourth of July
Cutest little girl that I ever have known
Waitin at the Church on Cumberland Road
Whoa oa oh, I didnt know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Whoa oa oh, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah weve been rockin all night, but dont you know
You gotta get me to the Church on the Cumberland Road
Yeah weve been rockin all night
But dont you know
You got to get me to the church on the Cumberland Road
