The Church on Cumberland Road Songtext
von Shenandoah

Just about a mile off of 109
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'

Oh-oh, I didn′t know this bored-out Ford could go so slow
Oh-oh, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah, we′ve been rocking all night, but don't you know
You got to get me to the church on the 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 95
What's the matter with you, man? I thought you said you could drive


Oh-oh, I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Oh-oh, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah, we′ve been rocking all night, but don′t you know
You got to get me to the church on the Cumberland Road

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 the Cumberland Road

Oh-oh, I didn′t know this bored-out Ford could go so slow
Oh-oh, you got to put your foot down on the floor
'Cause we′ve been rocking all night, but don't you know
You got to get me to the church on the Cumberland Road

And we′ve been rocking all night, but don't you know
You got to get me to the church on the Cumberland Road
