Maybellene - Conway Twitty

Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?

You done started doing the things you used to do

As I was motorvatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille

A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road

Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

The Cadillac doin' 'bout 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've started back doing the things you used to do

A Cadillac pulled up to one hundred and four

The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

It done got a cloud and started to rain

I tooted my horn for the passin' lane

The rain water blowin' all under my hood

I knew that was doin' 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

Oh 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

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 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
