"Maybellene" lyrics

As I was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
A Cadillac movin' on on open road
Nothin'll outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac movin' up to 95
We were bumper to bumper
Rollin' side by side

Maybellene, can't you be true?
Maybellene, can't you be true?
You started back doin' the things you used to do

Well, the Cadillac moved up 104
The Ford got hot and wouldn't move no more
I backed him up
It started to rain
I honked my horn to the passin' lane
Rainwater blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

Maybellene, can't you be true?
Maybellene, can't you be true?
You started back doin' the things you used to do

The motor cooled down
Heat had cooled down
That's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac lookin' like he's standin' still
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
The Cadillac lookin' like a hunk o' lead
I'm 110
A half a mile ahead

Maybellene, can't you be true?
Maybellene, can't you be true?
You started back doin' the things you used to do
Yeah, you started back doin'
You started back doin'
You started back doin' the things you used to do
