I'm in the wrong business I swear i ain't lyin' I stay hungry, broke all the time I'm gonna send my guitar home Leave these blues alone I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' Should have been a boxer Makin' the movie "rocky 3" I would be a star Like the wrestler mr. t Should've been like michael jackson When i was the age of five But chose this guitar Now i'm broke and can't survive I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' 'cause i stay hungry, broke all the time I'm gonna send my guitar home Leave these blues alone I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' These guitar freaks Have made my blood sugar go up Be better off If i was driving a trailer truck Like boxcar willie I played these blues and made me a bum I'm gonna give up this music
Move back to the farm I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' 'cause i stay broke, hungry all the time I'm gonna send my guitar home Leave these blues alone I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' I've played these blues Now i'm full up to my neck If i keep on playin' i tell you I'm gonna do like johnny paycheck He had a job Got money for years I'm gonna shelve my guitar I ain't got no job to shelve I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' Stay broke, hungry all the time I'm gonna send my guitar home Leave these blues alone I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin' I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin', folks Stay broke, hungry all the time I'm gonna send my guitar home Leave these blues alone I'm in the wrong business I ain't lyin'
