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 drinking

took things that messed up my thinking

i was sure sinking when you came along

i was alone in the hot lights

not too much left inside

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

you're some kind of macho man

you 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 i wasn't needin

if i was to keep pleasin

all of my fans

i got cuffed on dirt roads

i got sued over no shows

but you came and took all that old 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 travelin band

i'm 30 years old now

nights would be cold now

if you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

i'm 30 years old now

nights sure would be cold now

if you hadn't hung around with this blues man
