As I was motivatin' over the hill

5  5   5  5  5   4  4  4   4    4
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.

A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,

 5  5    5    5  4  4  4 4  4
nothin' will outrun my V 8 Ford.

 4   5 5  5   5 5    4    4  4   5
The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,

 5     5  5  5   5 5    4  4    4   4   4
she's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side.

Refrain:

verse 2.

Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,
it's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill.
First thing I saw that Cadillac grille
doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill.
Offhill curve, a downhill strecth,
me and that Cadillac neck by neck.

Refrain:

verse 3.

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford,
the Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more.
It then got cloudy and it started to rain,
I tooted my horn for a passin' lead
the rain water blowin' all under my hood,
I knew that was doin' my motor good.

Refrain:

verse 4.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
and that's when I heard that highway sound.
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
and I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill.
