Foghat – Maybellene Lyrics

Rock

Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

As I was rolling over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupé de Ville
A Cadillac runnin' on the open road
Ain't gonna outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac looked like it was standin' 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The motor got hot, wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy, started to rain
I took my horn to the passin' lane
The rain all blown off under my hood
I knew that would do my motor good

Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

The motor cooled down, the heat died down
That's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac looked like it was turnin' red
I caught him a mile behind my head
The Cadillac looked like it was standin' 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 done started back doin' the things you used to do
