I Drove Her Out of My Mind

Lyrics

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 alright 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
 Night 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 Chatanooga
 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
