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 motivatin´ over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
Cadillac rollin´ on the open road
Nothin´ outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin´ ´bout 95
Bumper to bumper, rollin´ side by side

Maybellene, why can´t you be true?
Whoa, Maybellene, why can´t you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do

Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
Ford got hot and wouldn´t do no more
Done got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn ´til I passed the lane
Rainwater blowin´ all under my hood
I knew that I was doin´ my motor good

Maybellene, why can´t you be true?
Whoa, Maybellene, why can´t you be true?
You done started back doin´ the things you used to do

The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that´s when I heard the highway sound
Cadillac sittin´ like a ton of lead
Hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin´ like it´s sittin´ in steel
And I called Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can´t you be true?
Whoa, Maybellene, why can´t you be true?
You done start back doing the things you used to do
