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.
