Lyrics The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

Maybellene

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville

Cadillac rollin' on an open road

But nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

Cadillac doin' about ninety-five

Bumper to bumper rollin' side to side

Maybelline why can't you be true

Maybelline why can't you be true

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

Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more

It done got cloudy and started to rain

Tooted my horn for the passin' lane

The rain water poured up under my hood

Knew that were doin' my motor good

Maybelline why can't you be true

Maybelline why can't you be true

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

The heat went down and the motor cooled down

That's when I heard that highway sound

Cadillac looked like a ton of lead

A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead

Cadillac looked like it's standin' still

And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline why can't you be true

Maybelline why can't you be true

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