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.
