1
As I was motovatin' over the hill
2
I saw Maybelline in a Coup-de-Ville
3
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
4
But, nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
5
The Cadillac doin' "˜bout ninety-five
6
Bumper-to-bumper rollin' side-by-side
7
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
8
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
9
(Why can't you be true?)
10
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
11
Well, the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
12
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
13
It done got cloudy and started to rain
14
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
15
The rain water blowin' up under my hood
16
I knew that doin' my motor good
17
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
18
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
19
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
20
(Oh, yeah)
21
(Harmonica solo)
22
Well now the heat went down
23
And the motor cooled down
24
And that's when I heard that highway sound
25
The Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead
26
A hundred and ten a half -mile ahead
27
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
28
I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
29
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
30
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
31
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
32
(Yeah, more, c'mon, yeah more)
