Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true,

oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

You've started back doin' the things you used to do.

As I was motivatin' over the hill,
A
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
A
Cadillac rollin' on the open road.
A
Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford,
A
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95,
A
bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side.
(Chorus)
Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford,
the Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more.
It soon got cloudy and it started to rain,
I tooted my horn for the passing lane,
rain was pourin' under my hood,
I knew that was doin' my motor good.
(Chorus)
(Instrumental:) A D A E D A
Motor cooled down, the heat went down,
that's when I heard that highway sound.
The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead,
110 half a mile ahead.
The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still,
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill.
(Chorus)
