I wasn't born a beast over the hill, I saw Maybelline in a group of them.
Cadillac rollin' on a open road, but now I run my V8 forward.
Cadillac doin' about 95, bumper to bumper, or side [E] to side.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, [A] Maybelline, why can't [E] you be true?
[B] He started back doing [A] the things he [Em] used to do.
When the Cadillac blewin' up ahead of the folk, the road got hot and wouldn't do no more.
It done got cloudy, the start of the rain, I tooted my horn for the passing lane.
The rain won't hold up under my hood, I knew that was doin' my boy [E] good.

But now the heat went down, and the motor cooled down, and that's when I heard that highway sound.
Cadillac lookin' like a tunnel head, 110 half a mile ahead.
Cadillac lookin' like cinna-steel, I thought [E] Maybelline was at the top of the hill.
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh, [A] Maybelline, why can't you [E] be true?
[B] He done started back doin' [A] the things [D] he used [E] to do.
