[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
As I was motivatin' 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
She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side
[Chorus]
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've just started back doing the things you used to do
[Verse 2]
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good
[Chorus]
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do
[Chorus]
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've just started back doing the things you used to do
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do
