Intro: Guitar Lick in G
|
| G |
| As I was motivatin' over the hill |
| I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville |
| Cadillac rollin' on the open road |
| Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford |
| Cadillac doin' 'bout 95 |
| Bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side |
|
| G |
| Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford |
| The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more |
| It soon got cloudy and it started to rain |
| I tooted my horn for the passing lane |
| Rain was pourin' under my hood |
| I knew that was doin' my motor good |
|
|
| G |
| Motor cooled down, the heat went down |
| That's when I heard that highway sound |
| The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead |
| 110 half a mile ahead |
| The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still |
| I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill |
