Mabellene

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac movin' down an open road
Nothin' outrunnin' my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
Bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side

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 do

Well, the Cadillac moved up ahead of the Ford
The 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 rainwater blown all under my hood
I knew that were doin' my motor good

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 do

Well now, the motor cooled down and the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac settin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

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 do
