Kodachrome / Maybellene

When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school Its a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasnt 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 worlds 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 theyd 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 worlds a sunny day, oh yeah I got a nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama dont take my kodachrome away mama don't take my kodachrome away mama don't take my kodachrome away mama don't take my kodachrome away mama don't take my kodachrome mama don't take my kodachrome mama don't take my kodachrome mama don't take my kodachrome mama don't take my kodachrome mama don't take my kodachrome mama don't take my kodachrome Maybellene why can't you be true Oh Maybellene why can't you be true You've started back doing the things you used to do As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville A Cadillac arollin on the open road Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford The cadillac doin bout ninety five She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side Maybellene why can't you be true Oh Maybellene why can't you be true You've started back doing the things you used to do The motor cooled down the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac a sittin like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin like it's sittin' still And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill Maybellene why can't you be true Oh Maybellene why can't you be true You've started back doing the things you used to do Oh Maybellene why can't you be true Oh Maybellene why can't you be true You've started back doing the things you used to do You've started back doing the things you used to do You've started back doing the things you used to do
