Maybellene Songtext
von Johnny Paycheck

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

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac rollin' on an open road
But nothin′ outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin′ about 95
We were bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side

Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done 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′s done got cloudy and started to rain
You tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rainwater poured up under my motor hood
I knew that weren't doin′ my motor good


Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doin′ the things you used to do
Lot of people, yeah (whoo)

Well, Maybellene, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
"My Cadillac lookin′ like a ton of lead"
A hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it′s sittin' still
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can′t you be true? (Yeah)
You done started back doin′ the things you used to do
They gon' break again, yeah

Oh, Maybellene, why can′t you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You done started back doin′ the things you used to do
Let's go one more time
You done started back doin′ the things you used to do
