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'
