I Drove Her Out of My Mind

歌詞

She gave me my walking papers and ran off with someone new 'Cause he bought her things my wages couldn't buy So I turned to ups and downers and everything between Still I can't get her good lovin' off my mind Well today I bought a Cadillac the kind she's always wanted I called and asked her if she'd like to ride She said this is our last date I said that's all right with me 'cause tonight I'm driving her out of my mind Yeah I'll take her on a scenic cruise right off of Lookout Mountain 'Cause she said I never took her out when she was mine She'll see all seven states as we drive to the pearly gates tonight when I drive her out of my mind All the papers will read "Lovers leap again off Lookout Mountain" 'Cause I wrote a note that called it suicide But my epitaph will say "he killed his pain yesterday when he finally drove that woman off his mind" Well now here she comes to greet me dressed to kill and so am I Hope she asks me if this Cadillac will fly And I know that I'll die laughin' when I show her that it will when I drive that woman right out of my mind Hell I'll take her on a scenic cruise right off of Lookout Mountain 'Cause she said I never took her out when she was mine She'll see all seven states as we drive to the pearly gates tonight when I drive her out of my mind They'll say Johnny Cash was quite a smash down here in Chattanooga last night when he drove her out of his mind Yeah that Cadillac dealer's in for a big surprise too 99 dollars down, 99 dollars a month Yeah it's gonna be just gorgeous (Ooh, to the pearly gates) (Ooh, to the pearly gates) (Ooh, to the pearly gates)
