Mercury Blues Lyrics

MERCURY BLUES (Robert L. Geddins, K. C. Douglas)
performed by Alan Jackson on A LOT ABOUT LIVIN' (1992)
Well, if I had money, I tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown, buy a Mercury or two
I'm crazy about a Mercury, Lord I'm crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Well, the girl I love, I stole her from a friend
He got lucky stole her back again
She heard he had a Mercury, Lord she's crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Well, hey now woman you look so fine
Riding 'round in your Mercury 49
Crazy about a Mercury, Lord I'm crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Well, my baby went out, she didn't stay long
Bought herself a Mercury come a cruisin' home
She's crazy about a Mercury, yeah she's crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Well, if I had money, I tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown buy a Mercury or two
Crazy about a Mercury, Lord I'm crazy about a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
