Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
Oh Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
You just started
Doin' the things
You used to do
As I was motivatin'
Over the hill
I saw Mabellene
In a Coup Deville
Cadillac a-rollin'
On the open road
Nothin' outruns
My V-8 Ford
The Cadillac
Doin' 'bout 95
We's bumper to bumper
Rollin' side by side
Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
Oh Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
You done started back
Doin' the things
You used to do
Cadillac pulled up
To 104
Ford got hot and
Wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy
And it started to rain
Was tootin' my horn
For the passing lane
The rain was blowin'
All up under my hood
I knew that's doin'
My motor good
Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
Oh Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
You done started back
Doin' the things
You used to do
Oh Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
Oh Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
You done started back
Doin' the things
You used to do
The motor
Cooled down
The heat went down
And that's when
I heard that
Highway sound
The Cadillac a-sittin'
Like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten
A half-a mile ahead
The Cadillac a-lookin'
Like it's sittin' still
I caught Mabellene
At the top of the hill
Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
Oh Mabellene,
Why can't you
Be true?
You done started back
Doin' the things
You used to do...
