I Drove Her Out Of My Mind Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Intro: [G] [D]
[D]She gave me my walking papers

and ran off with someone new
[G]Cuz he bought her things
my wages couldn't [D]buy
So i [G]turned to ups and downers
[D]and everything between
[E]Still i can't get her good lovin' off my [A]mind
Well today I bought a [D]Cadillac

the kind she's always wanted
[G]I called and asked her
if she'd like to [D]ride
She said this is our [G]last date
I said [A]that's alright with [D]me

cause tonight I'm driving her out of my mind
Yeah I'll take [G]her on a scenic cruise
right off of [D]Lookout Mountain

Cause she said I never took her out
when s[A]he was mine
She'll see [G]all seven states
as we [D]drive to the pearly gates
tonight when I drive [A]her out of my mind
All the papers will read "Lovers leap

again off Lookout Mountain"

Cause i wrote a note
that [G]called it sui[D]cide
But my [G]epitaph will say
"he killed[D] his pain yesterday
when he [E]finally drove that woman off his mind
Well now [D]here she comes to greet me

dressed to kill and so am I
Hope she [Gm]asks me if this
cadillac will [D]fly
[G]And I know that I'll die laughin'
when I [D]show her that it will

when I drive that woman

right out of my mind
Yeah I'll take [G]her on a scenic cruise
right off of [D]Lookout Mountain

Cause she said I never took her out
when s[A]he was mine
She'll see [G]all seven states
as we [D]drive to the pearly gates
tonight when I drive [A]her out of my mind

They'll say Johnny Cash was quite a smash
down here in Chat[G]anooga
last night [D]when he drove [A]her
out of his [D]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 ...)
