Lyrics : DiPiero, Robbins, Sherrill
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.
