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's salt of the earth

 Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church

 With a voice like wine

 Cruising along in that Ford Econoline

Verse 2

 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

Chorus

Instrumental solo

Chorus

Verse 3

 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
