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 Mabellene in a Coup de Ville
|
A Cadillac arollin' 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
|
|
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
|
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
|
It then got cloudy and started to rain
|
I tooted my horn for a passin' lane
|
The rainwater blowin' all under my hood
|
I know that I was doin' my motor good

Maybellene
|
|
The motor cooled down the heat went down
|
And that's when I heard that highway sound
|
The Cadillac asittin' like a ton of lead
|
A hundred and ten half a mile aheadv The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
|
And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill
