'49 Mercury Blues - Brian Setzer

'49 Mercury Blues Lyrics

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 againI'm too young to quit
Too old to change
Baby, what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury bluesCan'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 bluesI 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 throughWell, 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 againI'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 yeahI 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 throughWell, 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 againI'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 chopped top, slammed down
'49 mercury blues, oh yeah
