[Verse 1]
Just about a mile off-a one-oh-nine
There's a little church sittin’ back in the pines
I tole the little girl she was gonna be mine
Wouldn't be surprised if she was standin' there cryin’
[Chorus]
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 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 you are only doin’ ninety-five
What’s the mattеr with you, man, I thought you said you could drive
[Chorus]
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
(Yеah) We’ve been rocking all night, but, don't you know
You gotta get me to the church on Cumberland Road
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Sweet as 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
[Chorus]
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 gotta get me to the church on Cumberland Road
[Outro]
Yeah, we've been rocking all night, but, don't you know
You gotta get me to the church on Cumberland Road
