(nd) Oh, 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. As I was motivatin' over the hill, I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville Cadillac rollin' on the open road. Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford, Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side. (Chorus) Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford, the Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more. It soon got cloudy and it started to rain, I tooted my horn for the passing lane, rain was pourin' under my hood, I knew that was doin' my motor good. (Chorus) (Instrumental:) Motor cooled down, the heat went down, that's when I heard that highway sound. The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead, 110 half a mile ahead. The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still, I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill. (Chorus)
