Maybellene

(专辑： Georgia Keeps Pulling On My Ring - 1978)

As I was motivating over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac moving down an open road
Nothing outrunning my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doing 'bout ninety-five
Bumper to bumper, rolling side to side

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

Well, the Cadillac moved up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rainwater blown all under my hood
I knew that were doing my motor good

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

Well now, the motor cooled down and the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac setting like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead
Cadillac looking like it's sitting 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
You done started back doing the things you used to do
