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 guita   r 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'
