Maybelline

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...
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 were doin' my motor good
Oh Maybelline...
[ guitar ]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
Oh Maybelline...
[ guitar ]Oh Maybelline...
