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 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 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
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
