Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
You’ve started back doing the things you used to do
As I was motivatin’ over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rollin’ on the open road
Nothin’ will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin’ ’bout 95
She’s bumper to bumber rollin’ side by side
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
You’ve started back doing the things you used to do
The cadillac moved to a hundred and four
My phone got hot and wouldn’t do no more
It got cloudy and started to rain
Tooted my horn in the passing lane
The rain water blowin’ all under my hood
I knew that was doin’ my motor no good
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
You’ve started back doing the things you used to do
Hit it
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
You’ve 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 a-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 Mabellene at the top of the hill
Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can’t you be true?
You’ve started back doing the things you used to do
You’ve started back doing the things you used to do
