Maybellene - W/ Johnny Paycheck Lyrics - George Jones

George Jones & Johnny Paycheck 

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true 

Oh 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 

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true 

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true 

You've started back doin' 

The things you used to do.

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 wern't doin' my motor good. 

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true 

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true 

You've started back doin' 

The things you used to do. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Well now the heat went down 

And the motor cooled 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.
