Maybellene (Live At Walled Lake Casino, Detroit, MI/1963)

Maybellene, why can′t you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You just started 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 bumper, rollin′ side to side Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can′t you be true? You've just started back doing the things you used to do 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' lead 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′ve just started back doing the things you used to do Why? Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can′t you be true? You've just started back doing the things you used to do 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' lead The rain water blowin' all under my hood But I knew that was doin′ my motor good Maybellene, why can′t you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You′ve just started back doing the things you used to do The motor cooled down, the heat went down 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′ve started back doing the things you used to do I peeped at the mirror on the top of the hill It's just like slurring up a medicine pill First thing I saw was the Cadillac reel A hundred in ten, I came over the hill Up hill curves, down hill stretches Me and old Cadillac neck and neck 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
