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
