Intro: G  D
D
She gave me my walking papers
And ran off with someone new
G                                           D
Cuz he bought her things My wages couldn't buy
     G                          D
So I turned to ups and downers 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                                       D
I called and asked her 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             A
Cause she said I never took her out When she was mine
           G                       D
She'll see all seven states 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            G
That called it suicide 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                             D
Hope she asks me if this 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             A
