MaybelleneMaybellene, 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 motorvatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coupe 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 by 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 then 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 [Solo guitar] 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 a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do |
