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 motivating over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coup De Ville
A Cadillac a-rolling on the open road
Nothing outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doing 'bout ninety-five
She's b__per to b__per
Rolling side by side

[CHORUS]
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 a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy, it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passing lane
The rain water blowing all under my hood
I knew that was doing my motor good

[repeat CHORUS 2x]

The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sitting like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac looking like it's sitting still
And I caught Maybellene
At the top of the hill

[repeat CHORUS]
