I'm broken down

On the side of the road

Damn brakes locked up in the rain

Smoke's pourin' out

From under the hood

I'm 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 would break down

And join triple A

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



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



I guess like a tooth

That needsto 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,

'49 Mercury blues
