***CAPO 2*** 
 
    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 
***Chorus*** 
***Instrumental Solo 
***Chorus*** 
 
      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
