The Blues Man Lyrics

He's just a singer, a natural-born guitar ringer

Kind of an old clinger, to them sad old songs

He's not a walk - behinder, he's a new note finder

And his name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone

So he started drinkin', took some things that messed up his thinkin'

Yeah he was surely sinkin', when she came along

All alone in the hot lights, with not too much left in sight

But she came & changed all that one night, when she sang me this song

Hey baby, I love you

Hey baby, I need you

Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me that you're some kind of macho man

You've wasted so much of your life, running through the dark nights

Let me shine some love light, down on the blues man

I got so sick from speedin', all the stuff they said he was a needin'

If he was to keep pleasin', all of his fans

He got cuffed on dirt roads, got sued over no-shows

But she came and took all that old load, down off this blues man

And I told her

Hey baby, I love you too

Hey baby, I need you

Hey baby, I sure get tired, of my travelin' band

I'm over 40 years old now, the nights would be so cold now

If you hadn't stuck it out, with this blues man

Hey baby, I love you

Hey baby, I need you

Hey baby, I do get tired, of my travelin' band

I'm 46 years old now, yeah the nights would be so cold now

If you hadn't stuck it out, or in

This guitar pickin', beer drinking, tequila shootin'

Blues man
