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

 *  *  * Chorus: *  *  *  
      F                      C 
She's salt of the earth 
G                                 C 
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church 
       F                 C 
With a voice like wine 
G                                 Bb 
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline

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

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