[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
