Lyrics
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true? You done started doing the things you used to doAs I was motivatin’ over the hillI saw Maybellene in a Coupé de Ville A Cadillac a-rollin on the open road Nothin’ will outrun my V-8 Ford The Cadillac doin’ ’bout 95 She bumper to bumper, rollin’ side by sideMaybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true? You done started back doin’ the things you used to doThe Cadillac pulled up at 104The Ford got hot and wouldn’t do no more It done got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin’ lane The rain water blowin’ all under my hood I knew that wasn’t doin’ my motor goodMaybellene, why can’t you be true?Oh, Maybellene, why can’t you be true? You done started back doin’ the things you used to doOh, 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 doThe motor cooled down, the heat went downAnd that’s when I heard that highway sound Cadillac sittin’ like toad on a lake A 110, a half mile ahead The Cadillac lookin’ like it’s sittin’ still And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hillMaybellene, 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
