Ford Econoline Lyrics

Ford Econoline
Nanci Griffith

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 the salt of the earth
	Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church
	With a voice like wine
	Cruising along in the Ford Econoline

Now the husband was a gambler, 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

Repeat Chorus

Now she sings her songs around this country
From Seattle to Montgomery
Those kids are grown and the rounder knows
You can not cage your wife
She drives a Coupe-de-Ville but her heart rides still
In that Ford Econoline

She drives a Coupe-de-Ville but her heart rides still
In that Ford Econoline
