guitar chords lyrics
Johnny Cash - I Drove her out of my mind
Album: Out among the stars
Intro: G D
D
She gave me my walking papers
and ran off with someone new
G
Cuz he bought her things
D
my wages couldn't buy
G
So i turned to ups and downers
D
and everything between
E A
Still i can't get her good lovin' off my mind
D
Well today I bought a Cadillac
the kind she's always wanted
G
I called and asked her
D
if she'd like to ride
G
She said this is our last date
A D
I said that's alright with me
cause tonight I'm driving her out of my mind
G
Yeah I'll take her on a scenic cruise
D
right off of Lookout Mountain
Cause she said I never took her out
A
when she was mine
G
She'll see all seven states
D
as we drive to the pearly gates
A
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
G D
that called it suicide
G
But my epitaph will say
D
"he killed his pain yesterday
E
when he finally drove that woman off his mind
D
Well now here she comes to greet me
dressed to kill and so am I
Gm
Hope she asks me if this
D
cadillac will fly
G
And I know that I'll die laughin'
D
when I show her that it will
when I drive that woman
right out of my mind
G
Yeah I'll take her on a scenic cruise
D
right off of Lookout Mountain
Cause she said I never took her out
A
when she was mine
G
She'll see all seven states
D
as we drive to the pearly gates
A
tonight when I drive her out of my mind
They'll say Johnny Cash was quite a smash
G
down here in Chatanooga
D A
last night when he drove her
D
out of his mind
D
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
D
(ooh to the pearly gates)
G
(ooh to the pearly gates)
D
(ooh to the pearly gates ...)
