The Blues Man

I'm just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer Kind of a clinger to sad old songs I'm not a walk-behinder, I'm a new note finder But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone So I started drinkin', took some things that messed up my thinkin' I was sure sinkin' when she came along I was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight She changed all that one night when she sang me this song Hey baby, I love you, hey baby, I need you Hey baby, you don't have to prove to me you're some kind of macho man You've wasted so much of your life runnin' through the dark nights Let me shine a little love light down on you, blues man I got sick from speedin' all the things they said I was needing If I was to keep on pleasing all of my fans I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no shows She came and took all that old load down off of this blues man And I sang hey baby, I love you too, hey baby, I need you too Hey baby, I do get tired of this traveling band, I know you do get tired I'm up in my years now, nights would be so cold now If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man Oh, I'm up in my years now, nights would be oh so cold now If she hadn't hung around with this blues man
