Lyrics to Maybellene

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville

A Cadillac movin' on the open road

Nothin'll outrun my V8 Ford

The Cadillac movin' up to 95

We were bumper to bumper

Rollin' side by side



Maybellene, can't you be true?

Maybellene, can't you be true?

You started back doin' the things you used to do



The Cadillac moved up 104

The Ford got hot and wouldn't move no more

I backed him up

It started to rain

I honked my horn to the passin' lane

Rainwater blowin' all under my hood

I knew that was doin' my motor good



Maybellene, can't you be true?

Maybellene, can't you be true?

You started back doin' the things you used to do



The motor cooled down

Heat had cooled down

That's when I heard that highway sound

The Cadillac lookin' like he's standin' still

I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

The Cadillac lookin' like a hunk o' lead

I'm 110

A half a mile ahead



Maybellene, can't you be true?

Maybellene, can't you be true?

You started back doin' the things you used to do

Yeah, you started back doin'

You started back doin'

You started back doin' the things you used to do
