***CAPO 2*** 
 
        C5                                                  C5 
She drove west from Salt Lake City to the California coastline 
          C5                                        C5                 G5 
She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour 
       C5 
She had a husband on her bumper 
     C5 
She had five restless children 
     C5                             C5                               G5         C5 
She was singing sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline 

 *  *  * Chorus: *  *  *  
      F5                      C5 
She's salt of the earth 
G5                                 C5 
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church 
       F5                 C5 
With a voice like wine 
G5                                 Bb5 
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline

        C5                                               C5 
Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rounder 
                C5                      C5      C5        G5                 
He built a golden cage around his silver throated wife 
         C5                                                   C5 
Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and lying 
        C5                  C5               G5         C5 
But his big mistake was in buying her that Ford Econoline

            C5    
Now she sings her songs around this country 
     C5 
From Seattle to Montgomery 
      C5                                       C5 
Those kids are grown and that rounder knows  
    C5       C5         G5 
You can not cage your wife 
           C5                      
All on the back roads of our nation 
      C5                
She's become a living ledgend 
          C5                    C5      
She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still 
     G5              C5 
In that Ford Econoline 
          C5                    C5      
She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still 
      G5              C5 
In that Ford Econoline
