'49 Mercury Blues

Broken down on the side of the road

Damn brakes locked up in the rain

Smoke's pourin' out from under the hood

Stuck on the highway again

I'm too young to quit

Too old to change

Baby, what am

I gonna do?

I got the chopped top, slammed down'49 mercury blues

Can't find a phone, can't hitch a ride

Who would stop for me, anyway?

You would think that after all of

These cars

I've owned,

I'd break down and join triple

AI'm too young to quit

I'm too old to change

Baby, what am

I gonna do?

We got the chopped top, slammed down'49 mercury blues

I got the '49 mercury blues

By now you'd think

I've paid all my dues

Just think of all the trouble

That car is puttin' me through

Well, I guess like a tooth that needs to get filled

It's gonna hurt and you're gonna get drilled

And once you get it fixed, it happens all over again

I'm too young to quit

I'm too old to change

Baby, what am

I gonna do?

I got the chopped top, slammed down'49 mercury blues, oh yeah

I got the '49 mercury blues

By now you'd think

I've paid all my dues

And just think of all the trouble

That car is puttin' me through

Well, I guess like a tooth that needs to get filled

You know, it's gonna hurt and you're gonna get drilled

And once you get it fixed, it happens all over again

I'm too young to quit

I'm too old to change

Baby, what am

I gonna do?

I got the chopped top, slammed down'49 mercury blues, oh yeah
