Whatever Happened To Jesus / Maybellene

Terry Allen - Chuck Berry

© Green Shoes Pub, BMI

Tell me whatever happened to Jesus ah where did that good old boy go
Did you leave him behind back in Texas
Or did he just hide in the devil's disguise somewhere in your soul
Tell me whatever happened to Mary
Ah whatever happened to her sweet dreams
Did she leave them behind with her childhood
Or just trade 'em in on a tube of Maybellene

Oh Maybellene why can't you be true
Yeah Maybellene why can't you be true
You done started back doin' them thangs you used to do
You done started back doin' them thangs you used to do

Well I was motivatin' over the hill
I've seen Maybellene in a Coupe De Ville
A Cadillac a rollin' up the open road
Yeah nothin' will outrun my V-8 Ford
A Cadillac rollin' bout 95
Gone bumper to bumber roll side by side
Maybellene why can't you be true
Yeah Maybellene why can't you be true
You done started back doin' them thangs you used to do

The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
That 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' lane
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

Maybellene why can't you be true...
[ instrumental ]
Well the heat went down and the motor cooled down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene why can't you be true...
