She drove west from Salt Lake City to the California coastline |
|
She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour |
|
She had a husband on her bumper |
|
She had five restless children |
|
She was singing sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline |
|
She's the salt of the earth |
|
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church |
|
With a voice like wine |
|
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline |
|
Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler |
|
He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife |
|
Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying |
|
But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline |
|
She's the salt of the earth |
|
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church |
|
With a voice like wine |
|
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline |
|
She's the salt of the earth |
|
Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church |
|
With a voice like wine |
|
Cruising along in that Ford Econoline |
|
Now she sings her songs around this country |
|
From Seattle to Montgomery |
|
Those kids are grown and that rounder knows |
|
You cannot cage your wife |
|
Along the back roads of our nation, she's become a living legend |
|
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still |
|
In that Ford Econoline |
|
She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still |
|
In that Ford Econoline |
