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 motivating over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville

A Cadillac a-rolling on the open road

Nothing will outrun my V8 Ford

The cadillac doing about ninety-five

She's bumper to bumber rolling side by side

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

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

The cadillac moved to a hundred and four

Got hot and wouldn't do no more

It got cloudy and started to rain

Tooted my horn in the passing lane

The rain water blowin all under my hood

I knew that was doing my motor no good

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

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

The motor cooled down the heat went down

And that's when I heard that highway sound

The Cadillac a-sitting like a ton of lead

A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead

The Cadillac looking like it's sitting still

And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill

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
