Electric Maybellene

VERSE
Em
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupé de Ville
A Cadillac a-rollin on the open stretch
Nothin' will outrun my Tesla S
The Cadillac doin' 'bout 95
She bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side

CHORUS
A
Maybellene well you won't get far
G
Nothing outruns an electric car
 
VERSE
The Cadillac pulled up at 104
The Tesla hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that wasn't doin' my battery good

CHORUS
Maybellene well you won't get far
Nothing outruns an electric car

CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL x2

Breaker breaker

You got your ears on caddy?

What's your 20?

Seen  a county mounty 

in a plain white wrapper

10-4

VERSE
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac sittin' like toad on a lake
A 110, a half mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

CHORUS
Maybellene well you won't get far
Nothing outruns an electric car
 
OUTRO
G                                             Em
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
C                                                                      D
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

Maybellene, why can't you see?
You're draining my batteries

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Why do you do? The things you do?

Maybellene, please see
How you're draining my batteries
