Verse 1
As (A major) I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
A Cadillac rollin' on an open road
but nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
The (A major) Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
She's bumper to bumper rollin' side to side

Verse 2
The (A major) Cadillac pulled up
to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got a cloud and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The (A major) rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

Verse 3
The (A major) motor cooled down
the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac settin' like a ton of lead
a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
(A major) Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
and I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
