Maybellene

Maybellene
Why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
Why can't you be true
You just started doing the things you used to do

As I was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
Bumper to bumber rollin' side by side

Maybellene
Why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
Why can't you be true
You just started back doing the things you used to do

The Cadillac pulled up a hundred and four
The Ford got a-hot and wouldn't do no more
It just then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

Maybellene
Why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
Why can't you be true
You just started back doing the things you used to do

Oh Maybellene
Why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
Why can't you be true
You just started back doing the things you used to do

The motor cooled down
The heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene
Why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
Why can't you be true
You just started back doing the things you used to do
