Maybellene (1967 Version)

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 As I was motorvatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coupé De Ville A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five We was 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 doing 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 cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane The rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You done started back doing 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 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 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 doing the things you used to do
