Maybellene

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started doing the things you used to do

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille
A Cadillac rollin' on the open road
Nothing will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about 95
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 doing the things you used to do

The Cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and it 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
