The Church on Cumberland Road Lyrics by Sammy Sadler

1989

2021

[Verse 1]
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'
[Chorus]
Oh woah
I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Oh woah
You got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah, we've been rockin' all night, but don't you know
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road
[Verse 2]
Billy's passed out in the back, though we know he's alive
Ol' 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]
Oh woah
I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Oh woah
You got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah, we've been rockin' all night, but don't you know
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road
Yeah
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Oh woah
I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow
Oh woah
You got to put your foot down on the floor
Yeah, we've been rockin' all night, but don't you know
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road
We've been rockin' all night, but don't you know
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road
[Outro]
Mmm, oh yeah
