The Blues Man

[00:19.27] I'm just a singer, a natural-born guitar ringer
[00:29.53] Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
[00:39.34] I'm not a walk-behinder, I'm a new note finder
[00:49.24] But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone
[00:59.59] So I started drinkin', took things that messed up my thinkin'
[01:09.86] I was sure sinkin', when you came along
[01:19.09] I was alone in the hot lights, not too much left in sight
[01:29.05] But she changed all that one night, when she sang me this song
[01:39.59] Hey baby, I love you
[01:44.77] Hey baby, I need you
[01:50.08] Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me you're some kind of macho man
[01:59.59] You've wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
[02:10.31] Let me shine some love light down on the blues man
[02:19.79]
[02:30.44] I got so sick from speedin', all the stuff they said I wasn't needin'
[02:40.47] If I was to keep pleasin', all of my fans
[02:50.86] I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no-shows
[03:01.06] But she came and took all that old load, down off this blues man
[03:11.51] Hey baby, I love you too
[03:16.84] Hey baby, I need you
[03:21.82] Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin' band
[03:32.28] I'm 30 years old now, nights would be cold now
[03:42.31] If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
[03:52.56] I'm 30 years old now, nights sure would be cold now
[04:02.68] If you hadn't hung around with this blues man
[04:09.83]
