Maybellene

(专辑： Double Trouble - 1980)

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

As I was motivating over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille
Cadillac rolling on an open road
But nothing outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doing about ninety-five
Bumper to bumper, rolling side to side

Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doing
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 done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rainwater poured up under my motor hood
I knew that wern't doing my motor good

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

Well now, the heat went down
And the motor cooled down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac looking 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

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

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