CHORUS:
maybellene, why can’t you be true?
oh maybellene, why can’t you be true?
you done started doin’ the things you used to do
VERSE 1:
as i was motorvatin’ over the hill
i saw ‘Maybellene’ in a ‘Coupe de Ville’
a ‘Cadillac’ a-rollin’ on the open road…
nothin’ will outrun my “V8 Ford”
the ‘Cadillac’ doin’ about 95…
she’s bumper to bumper, rollin’ side by side…
CHORUS:
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
VERSE 2:
the ‘Cadillac’ pulled up to a hundred and four
the ‘Ford’ got hot and wouldn’t do no more
it then got cloudy and started to rain
i tooted my horn for the passin’ lane
the rainwater blowin’ all under my hood
i know that i was doin’ my motor good
CHORUS:
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
[guitar solo]
CHORUS:
oh 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
VERSE 3:
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 half a mile ahead
the ‘Cadillac’ lookin’ like it’s sittin’ still…
and i caught ‘maybellene’ at the top of the hill…
CHORUS:
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
