Kodachrome / Mabelle
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
