Blue Mercury

Day after 16 I got my license
And the keys to the mercury I'd be driving
Til the wheels fell off
Wasn't cool but it was paid for
Had room for all my buddies
In them 4 doors
We felt so tough

It went 0 to 60 in 10.3
But I was still the king of speed
Foot to the floor everywhere I'd go
Under 90 felt so slow

Next weekend I had my first date
With a girl I'd been crushing on since the 3rd grade
We had no where to be
Pulled it up to the top of the resevoir
My hands were shaking as I opened up the door
To that big back seat

That night went 0 to 60 in 4 seconds flat
But that's a time I'd never take back
She's long gone just like that car
But I count my lucky stars

A tank of gas would only last us one night
Drivin 110 in a 55
Trail of broken hearts that couldn't catch me
No one looking at kids like us
Just tail lights and a cloud of dust
Haulin ass in that Blue Mercury

Late one night playin stop or go
Shoulda listened when Ted said no
Hit the brakes it was too late
We left the ground doing 95
Didn't think that we'd survive
End over end through a field of trees
Glass breaking behind the screams

A tank of gas would only last us one night
Doing 110 in a 55
Trail of broken hearts that couldn't catch me
No one looking at kids like us
Just tail lights and a cloud of dust
Haulin ass in that Blue Mercury

At the bar thinking back on those nights
Still driving fast without the headlights
Never a worry about the speed
Couldn't drive safe cuz that would be slow
Back roads got us where we had to go
The Blue Mercury was all we'd ever need
And a

Tank of gas that only lasted one night
Doing 110 in a 55
Trail of broken hearts that couldn't catch me
No one looking at kids like us
Just tail lights and a cloud of dust
Haulin ass in that Blue Mercury
Blue Mercury
