Lyrics
you gotta get me to the church on cumberland road
sweeter than the dew on a honeysuckle vine
Bobby s got his head hangin over the side, bobby s got his head hangin over the side, i didn t know this bored-out ford could go so slow
Don t you know, i thought you said you could drive Cumberland, i didn t know this bored-out ford could go so slow
I promised that girl she was gonna be mine, waitin at the church on cumberland road Shenandoah, cutest little girl that i ever have known
Hotter than noon on the fourth of july, you got to put your foot down on the floor
There s a little church sittin back in the pines, don t you know
I didn t know this bored-out ford could go so slow, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Sweeter than the dew on a honeysuckle vine, billy s passed out in the back, you gotta get me to the church on cumberland road
Hotter than noon on the fourth of july, i promised that girl she was gonna be mine
Billy s passed out in the back, waitin at the church on cumberland road
You gotta get me to the church on cumberland road, hotter than noon on the fourth of july, i didn t know this bored-out ford could go so slow
I thought you said you could drive, yeah we ve been rocking all night
Don t you know, sweeter than the dew on a honeysuckle vine
You gotta get me to the church on cumberland road, don t you know Cumberland, i thought you said you could drive
I wouldn t be surprised if she was standin there cryin, you gotta get me to the church on cumberland road
Hotter than noon on the fourth of july, here we are doin only ninety-five, you got to put your foot down on the floor
Waitin at the church on cumberland road, yeah we ve been rocking all night
i wouldn t be surprised if she was standin there cryin
You got to put your foot down on the floor, you got to put your foot down on the floor
i didn t know this bored-out ford could go so slow
Don t you know, what s the matter with you
you got to put your foot down on the floor
i promised that girl she was gonna be mine
I wouldn t be surprised if she was standin there cryin, waitin at the church on cumberland road, there s a little church sittin back in the pines
Hotter than noon on the fourth of july, i didn t know this bored-out ford could go so slow, bobby s got his head hangin over the side
Yeah we ve been rocking all night, waitin at the church on cumberland road, what s the matter with you
