Maybellene

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

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille

Cadillac rollin' on an open road

But nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

Cadillac doin' about 95

We were 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

Well, the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

It's done got cloudy and started to rain

You tooted my horn for the passin' lane

The rainwater poured up under my motor hood

I knew that weren't 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

Lot of people, yeah (whoo)

Well, Maybellene, the heat went down

And that's when I heard that highway sound

"My Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead"

A hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead

Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still

I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? (Yeah)

You done started back doin' the things you used to do

They gon' break again, yeah

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You done started back doin' the things you used to do

Let's go one more time

You done started back doin' the things you used to do
