Shenandoah - Church On Cumberland Road lyrics

rate me

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:

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
