Song lyrics

[Chorus:]
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You did started doin' the things you used to do

As I was motivatin' 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 ninety five
She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side

[Chorus]

The Cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four
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 blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

[Chorus (x2)]

The motor cooled down the heat went down
And 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

[Chorus]
