Maybellene - Elvis Presley

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

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville

Cadillac rollin' on the open road

Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

Cadillac doin' 'bout 95

Bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side

Maybellene, why can’t you be true?

Whoa, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?

You done started back doing the things you used to do

Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

Ford got hot and wouldn’t do no more

Done got cloudy and it started to rain

I tooted my horn 'til I passed the lane

Rainwater blowin' all under my hood

I knew that I was doin' my motor good

Maybellene, why can’t you be true?

Whoa, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?

You done started back doin' the things you used to do

The motor cooled down, the heat went down

And that’s when I heard the highway sound

Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead

Hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead

Cadillac lookin' like it’s sittin' in steel

And I called Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can’t you be true?

Whoa, Maybellene, why can’t you be true?

You done start back doing the things you used to do
