Chorus:
(oh) maybellene, why cant you be true, whoah maybellene, why cant you be true
Youre 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, shes bumper to bumper, rollin side by side.

Chorus

He cooled down, the motor cooled down
Thats when Id 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 its standin still
And I caught maybellene at the top of the hill

Chorus

(instrumental break)

Chorus

Youre not startin right, doin those things you used to do
Youre not startin right, doin those things you used to do
