Im In The Wrong Business Lyrics by B. B. King

Im In The Wrong Business

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 b
