The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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'
