Ronnie Hawkins - Maybelline Lyrics

Maybelline why can't you be true yeah Maybelline why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do

As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybelline in a Coupe deVille
Cadillac rollin' on an open road but nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' about ninety-five bumper to bumper rollin' side to side

Maybelline why can't you be true...

Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford the Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rain water poured up under my motor hood I knew that were doin' my motor good

Maybelline why can't you be true...
[ guitar - harmonica ]
Maybelline why can't you be true...

The heat went down the motor cooled down that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline why can't you be true...
