ShoBiz Blues — текст песни (J. J. Cale)

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 managers 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 motels bad youre always in a stew

You cant quit youre 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 wouldnt ever pay my rent

If you crave your neighbour lights, the spotlights right on you

When its time to get the catch with the sho-biz blues

Now you cant sleep till two oclock, you aint no millionaire

This entertaining lifestyle just seems to go nowhere

You write a song it seems ok, they say its nothin new

It dont take long to find youve got the sho-biz blues
