Blues business

Why do you always ask me baby
Ev'ry time i have to go?
Suspicious eyes are doubting me
And now they want to know
Where i'm going with my guitar
And another change of clothes?

Why do i go out ev'ry night
And don't come home 'til dawn?
You think i been stepping out
I've been playing 'round the town
But honey, you know i've been
Working late
Lot's of deals going down

I got blues, blues, blues business
Ev'ry night and ev'ry day
Blues business baby
Got to make my music pay
I got blues business baby
I swear the truth is what i say

I thought tonight i'd be a sport
Come home early for a change
But there's another car parked out front
I ain't never seen, that's strange
Woman, who's that clown you got inside?
I think you better try explain

I got blues, blues, blues business
Ev'ry night and ev'ry day
Blues business baby
You taught me how to make it pay
I got blues business baby
I swear the truth is what i say.
