maybellene

Lyrics

oh maybellene, why can't you be true, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, you've 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 ninety-five, bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, you've 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 done got cloudy and started to rain, i tooted my horn for the passing lane, the rainwater poured up under my motor hood, i knew that wern't doin' my motor good, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, you've started back doin', the things you used to do, well now, the heat went down, and the motor cooled down, and that's when i heard that highway sound, 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, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, oh maybellene, why can't you be true, you've 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've started back doin', the things you used to do
