Maybellene - 1967 Version
Oh 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
As I was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupé de Ville
A Cadillac 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
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
Kicked in the mirror at the top of the hill
Just like swallowing up a medicine pill
First take swang at the Cadillac thrill
Doin' a hundred and ten droppin' over that hill
Uphill curve, a downhill stretch
Me and that Cadillac neck at neck
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
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
A Cadillac pulled up to hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got a cloud and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
But I knew that was doin' my motor good
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 motor cooled down, the heat went down
That's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac 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 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 doing the things you used to do
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do
As I was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupé de Ville
A Cadillac 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
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
Kicked in the mirror at the top of the hill
Just like swallowing up a medicine pill
First take swang at the Cadillac thrill
Doin' a hundred and ten droppin' over that hill
Uphill curve, a downhill stretch
Me and that Cadillac neck at neck
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
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
A Cadillac pulled up to hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got a cloud and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
But I knew that was doin' my motor good
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 motor cooled down, the heat went down
That's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac 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 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 doing the things you used to do
