The Church On Cumberland Road - Shenandoah

Just about a mile off-a one-oh-nine 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' Whoa oa oh, I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow Who oa oh, 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 Jimmy's passed out in the back, lo I know he's alive Mike he'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! Whoa oa oh, I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow Whoa oa oh, 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 Hey 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 Cumberland Road Whoa oa oh, I didn't know a bored-out Ford could go so slow Whoa oa oh, 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 we've been rockin' all night But don't you know You got to get me to the church on the Cumberland Road

Sun coming down on my shoulder Moon going down in the sea I knew nothing could hold her It took everything from me We drove into the salt water A clear sweet shadow alarm/lit out Rolled in stolen na The highway was drowning her out And then she told me Don't be afraid of yourself But when she rolled my dice That double six was for someone else I asked if it was over I mask over my hate Sadder, well I could control her Down to her matter late And then she told me You've only got today But when I asked for another She looked at me and looked away And then she showed me the menace in her past And then she showed me another way And then she owed me everything But she couldn't stay Sun coming down on the shoulder Moon coming up from the sea Days pass from warmer to colder Return like a child unto me And then she told me Don't be afraid of yourself And then she told me You only got today And then she told me You'll never be alone But on that Old Coast Road When I woke up there was no one home

Walking past the places I don't wanna see And faceless strangers I don't wanna meet As I go, the night becomes surreal Carrying on for all eternity True change is nowhere to be found Carrying on, carrying on As I try to fight it I run away, but stay the same Light the fire, ignite it Distant voices screaming in the dark Approaching me as I embark Suddenly, faces facing me I can't believe, it's reality I guess it doesn't matter now Carrying on, carrying on As I try to fight it I run away, but stay the same Light the fire, ignite it And when it all comes back At least I know, I'm not alone And in my darkest days You are the light to guide me home

Well, here comes trouble in a pair of tight jeans Fit to be tied bustin' at the seams Got a bead on me, she's a shootin' this way I'm under the gun should I run or stay? On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do She's got me wide-eyed tongue-tied beside myself I'm tore up talk me down I might need help Hold me back boys, I ain't thinkin' straight My head's cryin' run but my heart's sayin' wait On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? Well, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do
