maybellene

berry, chuck

maybellene

why can't you be true?

oh maybellene

why can't you be true?

you done started doin' the things you used to do

as i was motorvatin' 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 by side

maybellene

why can't you be true?

oh maybellene

why can't you be true?

you done started back doin' the things you used to do

the cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four

the ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

it then got cloudy and started to rain

i tooted my horn for the 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do

oh maybellene

why can't you be true?

oh 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 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

and 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do
