He Drove Her Out Of His Mind
Recorded by Mel Tillis       [3/4 time]
written by Bob Corbin, Murray Cannon, Robert Paxton 

C                      F           C
For years she tried to make it all work
            D7            G7
Put up with his hillbilly ways
C                            F            C
She gave it her all till the love finally died
         G7           C
Then she left him one day

       F
Though he turned to the bottle 
    C
And he turned to other women
            D7         G7
But never a comfort to find
F               C        F
Try as he would he never could
C         G7         C
Drive her out of his mind

                      F           C
He'd call me at night lost in his dreams
       D7              G7
Asking where he'd gone wrong
C                    F               C
He talk and he'd cry and I'd sit and listen
                       G7              C
Till he's pass out and I'd hang up the phone

Repeat #2

                           F               C
They say he was drunk when he went off the highway
               D7           G7
Traveling at a high rate of speed
C                    F                C
But I'm of a mind he knew what he was doing
                      G7       C
When he drove his car into the tree

       F
Though he turned to the bottle 
    C
And he turned to other women
            D7         G7
But never a comfort to find
F                            C             F
Last night on the highway at a hundred and ten
C            G7         C
He drove her out of his mind
