Chorus:

(Oh) Maybellene, why can't you be true, whoah Maybellene, why can't you be true

You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do



As I was motivatin over the hill, I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville, 

a cadillac a-rollin on the open road, yeah, but nothin out race my V8 Ford, 

The Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, she's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side.



chorus



He cooled down, the motor cooled down

That's when I'd heard that highway sound

I kept back sittin' like a ton of lead

Got a hundred and ten a half mile ahead

Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still 

And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill



chorus



(Instrumental break)



chorus



You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do

You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do
