B. B. King - Inflation Blues lyrics

[Rodgers, Kirke, Yamauchi, Bundrick, Kossoff]

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes

I know you ain't going anywhere

Look around, all your time you're singing your blues

I know you ain't going anywhere

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you always say farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well

Throw down your gun. you might shoot yourself

Or is that what you're trying to do?

Put up a fight, you believe to be right

And some day the sun will shine through

You've always got something to hide

Something you just can't tell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well

But I know what you're wishing for

It's love in a peaceful world

It's love in a peaceful world

And some love in a peaceful world

You've always been a good friend of mine

But you always say farewell

And the only time that you're satisfied

Is with your feet in the wishing well
