The Blues Man Songtext / Lyric

I'm just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer,
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs.
I'm not a walk behind'er,
I'm a new note finder
But my name's a reminder of a blues man that already gone.

So I started drinking,
Took things that messde up my thinking
I was sure sinking when you came along.

I was alone in the hot lights,
Not to much left in sight
But 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 ain't got to prove to me that your 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 this blues man

I got so sick from speeding
All the stuff they said I wasn't needed
If I was to keep pleasing all of my fans.

I got cuffed on dirt roads.
I got sued over no shows
But she came and took all that ole load
Down off this blues man.

Hey baby I love you too.
Hey baby I need you.
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band.
I'm thirty years old now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out
In this blues man.

I'm thirty years old now,
Nights sure would be cold now
If you hadn't hung around for this blues man.
