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', and took things that messed up my thinkin' |
|
I was sure sinkin', when you came along |
|
I was alone in the hot lights, not too much left in sight |
|
But she changed all that in 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've wasted so much of your life, runnin' through the dark nights |
|
Let me shine some love light, down on the blues man |
|
I got so sick of speed an' |
|
And all the stuff they said I was needin' |
|
If I was, to keep, pleasin' |
|
All of my fans |
|
I got cuffed on dirt roads |
|
I got sued for 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 thirty years old now |
|
Nights would be cold now |
|
If you hadn't stuck it out |
|
With this blues man |
|
I'm thirty years old now |
|
Nights sure would be cold now |
|
If you hadn't, hung around |
|
With this blues man |
