Maybellene Lyrics

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

I saw Mabellene in a Coup de Ville

A Cadillac arollin' on the open road

Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

The Cadillac doin' about ninetyfive

She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side

Maybellene

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

Solo guitar

Maybellene

The motor cooled down the heat went down

And that's when I heard that highway sound

The Cadillac asittin' like a ton of lead

A hundred and ten half a mile aheadv The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still

And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene

Solo guitar

Maybellene

Maybellene, why can't you be true

Oh Mabellene , why can't you be true

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

As I was motivatin over the hill

I saw Mabellene in a Coup de Ville

A Cadillac arollin' on the open road

Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

The Cadillac doin' about ninetyfive

She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side

Maybellene

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

Solo guitar

Maybellene

The motor cooled down the heat went down

And that's when I heard that highway sound

The Cadillac asittin' like a ton of lead

A hundred and ten half a mile ahead

The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still

And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene

Solo guitar

Maybellene
