Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started doin',
The things you used to do.

As I was motivatin' over the hill,
I saw Mabellene in a Coup de Ville.
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,
Nothin'll outrun my V8 Ford.
The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five.
She's bumper to bumper,
Rollin' side by 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.

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford.
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more.
It then got cloudy and started to rain.
I tooted my horn for a passin' lane.
The rainwater blowin' all under my hood.
I know that I was 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.

Instrumental break.

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.

The motor cooled down, the heat went down.
And that's when I heard that highway sound.
The Cadillac a-settin' like a ton of lead,
A hundred and ten half a mile ahead.
The Cadillac lookin' like it's settin' still,
And I caught Mabellene 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 doin',
The things you used to do.
