The Blues Man
[Verse]
Heâs just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
Heâs not a walk behinder, heâs a new note finder
But his names a reminder of a blues man thatâs already gone
So he started drinkinâ, took some things that messed up his thinkinâ
He was sure sinkinâ when she came along
He was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight
She changed all that one night when she sang him this songâ¦
[Chorus]
Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you
Hey baby you ainât got to prove to me youâre some kind of macho man
Youâve wasted so much of your life, runninâ through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light, down on that blues man.
[Verse]
He got so sick from speedinâ, all the things they said he was needinâ
If he was to keep on pleasinâ all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows
She came an took all that old load down off that old blues man
And he sangâ¦
[Chorus]
Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this travelinâ band
Iâm over forty years old now, nights would be cold now
If you hadnât stuck it out with this blues man
Heâs over forty years old now, nights would be so cold now
If she hadnât hung around with that blues man.
