Blues Man lyrics
by Alan Jackson



He's just a singerA natural-born guitar ringerKind of clingerTo sad ole songs.He's not a walk behinderHe's a new note finderBut his name's a reminderOf a blues man that's already gone.So he started drinkinTook some things that messed up his thinkinHe was surely sinkinWhen she came along.He was alone in the hot lightsNot too much left in sightBut she changed all that in one nightWhen she sang him this songHey baby I love youHey baby I need youHey baby you don't need to prove to meThat you're some kind of macho manYou've wasted so much of your lifeRunnin through the dark nightLet me shine some love lightDown on this blues man.He was so sick from speedinAll that stuff they said he was needinIf he was to keep pleasinAll of his fansHe got cuffed on dirt roadsHe got sued over no showsBut she took all that ole loadDown off this blues man.Hey baby I love you tooHey baby I need youHey baby I do get tiredOf this travellin bandI'm over 40 years old nowNights would be cold nowIf you hadn't stuck it outFor this blues manI'm over 40 years old nowNights would be cold nowIf you hadn't stuck it outFor this blues man
