Lyrics

[00:04.78] Maybellene why can't you be true
[00:08.77] Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
[00:12.82] You've started back doing the things you used to do
[00:17.84] As I was motivatin' over the hill
[00:20.12] I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville
[00:22.13] A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
[00:24.14] Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
[00:26.18] The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
[00:28.14] She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side
[00:30.17] Maybellene why can't you be true
[00:33.27] Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
[00:37.52] You've started back doing the things you used to do
[00:42.51] The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
[00:44.66] The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
[00:46.65] It then got cloudy and started to rain
[00:48.55] I tooted my horn for a passin' lane
[00:50.56] The rainwater blowin' all under my hood
[00:52.68] I know that I was doin' my motor good
[00:54.54] Maybellene why can't you be true
[00:58.02] Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
[01:02.29] You've started back doing the things you used to do
[01:29.99] Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
[01:34.55] Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
[01:38.49] You've started back doing the things you used to do
[01:43.76] The motor cooled down the heat went down
[01:45.84] And that's when I heard that highway sound
[01:47.83] The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead
[01:49.75] A hundred and ten a half of a mile ahead
[01:51.79] The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
[01:53.83] And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
[01:55.83] Maybellene why can't you be true
[01:59.24] Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
[02:03.40] You've started back doing the things you used to do
