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 ...)
