As I was motivatin' over the hill |
|
I saw Mabellene in a Coup 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 |
|
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 |
|
Well, the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford |
|
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more |
|
It then got cloudy and started to rain |
|
I tooted my horn for a passin' lane |
|
The rainwater blowin' all under my hood |
|
I know that I was doin' my motor good |
|
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 |
|
The heat went down, the motor cooled 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 |
|
I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill |
|
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 |
