Maybelline

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
