Chorus:

(Oh) Mabellene, why can't you be true, whoah Mabellene, why can't you be true

You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do



As I was motivatin' over the hill, I was Mabellene in a coup Deville

Cadillac roarin' at the open road, yeah but nothin' but a racecar bein' fold

Cadillac doin' by 95, oh mama and papa in side to side



chorus



He cooled down, the motor cooled down

That's when I'd heard that highway sound

I kept back sittin' like a ton of leather

Got a hundert and ten a half mile ahead

Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still

And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill



chorus



(Instrumental break)



chorus



You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do

You're not startin' right, doin' those things you used to do
