Ford Econoline Nanci Griffith
Words & Music by Nanci Griffith
***CAPO 2nd Fret***
She drove [C]west from Salt Lake City to the [/]California coastline
She hit the [/]San Diego Freeway doing [/]sixty miles an ho[G]ur
She had a h[C]usband on her bumper
She had f[/]ive restless children
She was s[/]inging as sweet as a mockingbird in that [G]Ford Econo[C]line.
CHORUS:
She's the [F]salt of the [C]earth
[G]Straight from the bosom of the M[C]ormon church
With a [F]voice like [C]wine
[G]Cruisin' along in tha[F]t Ford Econoline.
Her [C]husband was a gambler; He was a Salt Lake City rounder
And he built a golden cage around his silver-throated [G]wife
Too many [C]nights he left her cryin' with his cheatin' and his lyin'
But his big mistake was in buyin' her that [G]Ford Econo[C]line
(repeat CHORUS)
(SOLO over VERSE changes)
(repeat CHORUS)
Now she sings her [C]songs around this country from Seattle to Montgomery
Those kids are grown and that rounder knows you cannot cage your [G]wife
Along the [C]backroads of our nation she's become a living legend
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still in that [G]Ford Econo[C]line
She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still in that [G]Ford Econo[C]line.
