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
