Lyric

Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

He’s just a singerA natural born guitar ringerKind of clingerTo sad ole songs.
He’s not a walk behinderHe’s a new note finderHis name’s a reminderOf a blues man that’s already gone.
So he started drinkin’Took some things that messed up his thinkin’He was surely sinkin’When she came along.
He was alone in the spot lightsNot too much left in sightShe changed all that one nightWhen she sang him this song.
Hey, baby I love youHey, baby I need youHey, baby you ain’t got to prove to meYou’re some kind of macho manYou’ve wasted so much of your lifeRunnin’ through the dark nightLet me shine a little love lightDown on that blues man.
— Instrumental —
He got so sick from speedin’All the things they said he was needin’If he is to keep on pleasin’All of his fans.
He got cuffed on dirt roadHe got sued over no showHe came and took all that ole loadDown off that blues manAnd he sang.
Hey, baby I love you tooHey, baby I need youHey, baby I do get tiredOf this travellin’ band.
I’m over 40 years old nowNights would be cold nowIf you hadn’t stuck it outWith this blues man.
He’s over 40 years old nowNights would be so cold nowIf she hadn’t hung aroundWith that blues man…
