Maybellene

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

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellenein a coup de ville

A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road

Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five

She's bumper to bumber

Rollin' side by side

[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

Pink in the mirror on top of the hill

It's just like swallowin' up

A medicine pill

First thing I saw that Cadillac grille

Doin' a hundred

And ten gallopin' over that hill

Offhill curve, a downhill stretch

Me and that Cadillac neck by neck

[Chorus]

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' lead

The rain water blowin' all under my hood

I knew that was doin' my motor good

[Chorus]

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 Maybelline at the top of the hill

[Chorus]
