Johnny Cash - I Drove Her Out Of My Mind lyrics

She gave me my walking papers and ran off with someone new Cuz 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 k**ed his pain yesterday when he finally drove that woman off his mind" Well now here she comes to greet me dressed to k** 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 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 (ooh to the pearly gates) (ooh to the pearly gates) (ooh to the pearly gates ...)
