He's just a singer
|
A natural born guitar ringer
|
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
|
He's not a walk behinder
|
He's a new note finder
|
His name's a reminder of a blues man
|
That's already gone
|
So he started drinking and took somethings
|
That meesed up his thinking
|
He was sure sinking when she came along
|
He was born in the spot light not to much left inside
|
She changed all that one night
|
When she sang him this song
|
|
Hey baby I love you
|
Hey baby I need you
|
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me
|
Your some kind of macho man
|
You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
|
Let me shine a little love light down on the blues man
|
|
He got so sick of speeding all things
|
They said he was needing if he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans
|
He got cuffed on dirt roads
|
He got sued over no shows
|
She came and took all that old down off of that blues man
|
|
And he sang
|
Hey baby I love you to
|
Hey baby I need you
|
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band
|
I'm over 40 years old now
|
Nights would be so cold now i
|
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
|
|
I'm over 40 years old now
|
Nights would be so cold now
|
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man.
