E
Just about a mile off a one oh nine
E
There's a little church sittin' back in the pines
   E
I promised that girl she was gonna be mine
  E
I wouldn't be surprised if she was standin' there cryin'

[Chorus]
A
Woah-oh,
         A                                 E
I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow.
A
Woah-oh,
A                                       E
  You got to put your foot down on the floor,
                B
Yeah we been rockin' all night, but, don't you know
          E
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road.

[Verse 2]
        E
Jimmy's passed out in the back, Lord, we know he's alive
     E
Ol' Mikey's got his head hangin' over the side
E
here you are doin' only 95,
            E
What's the matter with you man, I thought you said you could drive.

[Chorus]
A
Woah-oh,
         A                                 E
I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow.
A
Woah-oh,
A                                       E
  You got to put your foot down on the floor,
                B
Yeah we been rockin' all night, but, don't you know
          E
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road.

[Verse 3]
       E
Yeah, sweeter than the dew on a honeysuckle vine,
E
Warmer than noon on the Fourth of July,
E
Cutest little girl that I ever have known
E
Waitin' at the church on the Cumberland Road.

[Chorus]
A
Woah-oh,
         A                                 E
I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow.

Woah-oh,

  You got to put your foot down on the floor,
                B
Yeah we been rockin' all night, but, don't you know
          E
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road.

[Outro]
                B
Yeah we been rockin' all night, but, don't you know
          E
You gotta get me to the church on the Cumberland Road.
