Maybelline why can't you be true oh Maybelline why can't you be true
You done start back doin' 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...
[ fiddle ]
Well the 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...
[ banjo ]
The motor cooled down the heat went down
And 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...
[ mandolin ]
Oh Maybelline why can't you be true...
