Ford Econoline

[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 was the salt of the earth

Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church

With a voice like wine

Cruising along in that Ford Econoline (Ford Econo, Ford Econoline)

[Verse 2]

But her husband was a gambler, a Salt Lake City rambler

He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife

So many nights he left her crying with his cheatin' and his lyin'

But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline

[Chorus]

She was the salt of the earth

Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church

With a voice like wine

Cruising along in that Ford Econoline (Ford Econoline)

[Bridge]

She sings her songs around this country

From Seattle to Montgomery

And them kids are grown and that rounder knows

You cannot cage your wife (Woo)

Along the back roads of our nation

She's become a living legend

She drives a Coupe de Ville but her heart rides still

In that Ford Econoline

[Chorus]

She was the salt of the earth

Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church

With a voice like wine

Cruising along in that Ford Econoline (Ford Econo, Ford Econoline)

[Outro]

With her foot on the gas, she never looked back

In that Ford Econoline

She keeps cruising along

In that Ford Econoline
