Verse 1

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

Chorus

She's salt of the earth

Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church

With a voice like wine

Cruising along in that Ford Econoline

Verse 2

Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rounder

He built a golden cage around his silver throated wife

Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and lying

But his big mistake was in buying her that Ford Econoline

Chorus

Instrumental solo

Chorus

Verse 3

Now she sings her songs around this country

>From Seattle to Montgomery

Those kids are grown and that rounder knows

You can not cage your wife

All on the back roads of our nation

She's become a living ledgend

She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still

In that Ford Econoline

She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still

In that Ford Econoline
