Retro Lyrics


MAYBELLENE

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

 

As I was a'motovatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville

A Cadillac a'rollin' on the open road

Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety five

Bumper to bumber rollin' side by side

 

Peek in the mirror on top of the hill

Just like swallowin' up a medicine pill

First thing I saw that Cadillac grille

Doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill

Offhill curve a downhill stretch

Me and that Cadillac neck by neck

 

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

It then got cloudy and it started to rain

I tooted my horn for a passin' lane

The rain water blowin' all under my hood

I knew that was doin' my motor good

 

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
