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/ 
  
  
      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.

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

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

She's become a living legend.  
          C                    C

     G 	       C  
In that Ford Econoline.  
          C                    C       
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still  
      G 	       C  
In that Ford Econoline.
