Nanci Griffith lyrics : "Ford Econoline"

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 the 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 rambler
He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife
Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying

But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline

[Chorus 2x]


Now she sings her songs around this country
From Seattle to Montgomery

Those kids are grown and that rounder knows
You cannot cage your wife
Along the back roads of our nation, she's become a living legend

She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still
In that Ford Econoline
She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still

In that Ford Econoline
