I'm broken down
On the side of the road [bad word] 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 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
