Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene , why can't you be true
You done started doin' the things you used to do
As I was motorvaton over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
A Cadillac arollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninetyfive
She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene , why can't you be true
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
The Cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rainwater blowin' all under my hood
I know that I was doin' my motor good
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin' 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 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do
