          C                               /                
She drove west from Salt Lake City to the California coastline
            /                       /                G
She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour
           C
She had a husband on her bumper
         /      
She had five restless children
       	 /	                                  G         C
She was singing as sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline.
Chorus:
             F           C
   She's the salt of the earth
   G                               C
   Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church
          F          C
   With a voice like wine
   G 	  	        F
   Cruisin' along in that Ford Econoline.
    C
Her husband was a gambler; He was a Salt Lake City rounder
                                                      G 	  	 
And he built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife
         C 	  	      	                            
Too many nights he left her cryin' with his cheatin' and his lyin'
                                           G         C
But his big mistake was in buyin' her that Ford Econoline
(repeat Chorus)
(SOLO over Verse changes)
(repeat Chorus)
                  C   
Now she sings her songs around this country from Seattle to Montgomery
                                                                 G
Those kids are grown and that rounder knows you cannot cage your wife
          C 	  	      
Along the backroads of our nation she's become a living legend
                                                             G         C
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still in that Ford Econoline
                                                             G         C
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still in that Ford Econoline.
