Elvis Presley - Maybellene lyrics

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 motivatin` over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.

A Cadillac a-rollin` on the open road,

Nothin` will outrun my V8 Ford.

The cadillac doin` `bout ninety-five,

She`s bumper to bumber rollin` side by side.

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.

The cadillac moved to a hundred and four

got hot and wouldn`t do no more

It got cloudy and started to rain

Tooted my horn in the passing lane

The rain water blowin all under my hood

I knew that was doin` my motor no good

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.

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.

The motor cooled down, the heat went down

And that`s when I heard that highway sound.

The Cadillac a-sittin` like a ton of lead

A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.

The Cadillac lookin` like it`s sittin` 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`ve started back

doing the things you used to do.

You`ve started back

doing the things you used to do.
