Sho-Biz Blues |
| Tried busking down in Frisco, tried dancin' in LA |
| I played the blues in Chicago, boy I ran home in Santa Fe |
| I played guitar for many men, signed a deal or two |
| And all I ever got from them is the sho-biz blues |
| I got hot chicks down in Texas, no work in Alabam' |
| Snowed in out on Belibor you were always in a jam |
| Worked carnivals down in Georgia, night clubs attitude |
| And all I ever got from them is the sho-biz blues |
| Well the manager’s got no money, the bookers had no jobs |
| The record man he fell asleep, he says I look like a slob |
| The bus breaks down and the motel’s bad you’re always in a stew |
| You can’t quit you’re too far gone, you got the sho-biz blues |
| I tried to love the ladies everywhere I went |
| When I got down and out they wouldn’t ever pay my rent |
| If you crave your neighbour lights, the spotlight’s right on you |
| When it’s time to get the catch with the sho-biz blues |
| Now you can’t sleep till two o’clock, you ain’t no millionaire |
| This entertaining lifestyle just seems to go nowhere |
| You write a song it seems OK, they say it’s nothin' new |
| It don’t take long to find you’ve got the sho-biz blues |
