George Jones & Johnny Paycheck - Maybellene lyrics

Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true You've started back doin' The things you used to do As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille Cadillac rollin' on an open road But nothin' outrun my V8 Ford Cadillac doin' about ninety-five Bumper to bumper, rollin' side to side Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true You've started back doin' 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 pa**ing lane The rainwater poured up under my motor hood I knew that wern't doin' my motor good Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true You've started back doin' 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 lookin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' 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 doin' 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 doin' The things you used to do
