When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of edu---cation Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah I got a nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match My sweet imagination And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah I got a nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my kodachrome away

Chorus: (oh) maybellene, why can't you be true, whoah maybellene, 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 saw maybellene in a coup de ville, A cadillac a-rollin on the open road, yeah, but nothin out race my v8 ford, The cadillac doin' 'bout 95, she's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by 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 lead Got a hundred and ten a half mile ahead Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still And I caught maybellene 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
