B.B. King Was Wrong
by: John Gorka(Chorus)
B.B. King was wrong the thrill it isn't gone
The thrill it is here it is now it is strong
The thrill it isn't gone
That means B.B.King was wrong
Now I'm not gonna be the one to tell him
No I'm not gonna be around
I'm living happily just my baby and me
Since my baby put the B.B. down
And it's not the way you hear him tell it
Cause she never did nobody wrong
I have no blues today cause he drove her my way
Just so he could put it in a song
(Chorus)
Oh the man can really play like no one else sir
And man he's got a lot of soul
But if he loved his women liked he loves Lucille
They would never leave the man alone
