'49 Mercury Blues (Live)

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'd think that after all of these cars I've owned
I'd 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
Well, just think of all the trouble
That car is puttin' me through

I guess like a tooth that needs to get filled
You know it's gonna hurt
You're gonna get drilled
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

'49 mercury blues
By now you'd think I've paid all my dues
Well, just think of all the trouble
That car is puttin' me through

I guess like a tooth that needs to get filled
You know it's gonna hurt
You're gonna get drilled
Once you get it fixed, it happens all over again

Too young to quit, too old to change
Baby, what am I gonna do?
I got the chopped top, slammed down
'49 Mercury blues

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