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 messed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was born in the spotlight
Not too much left insight
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 lovelight
Down on that blues man
He got so sick from speedin'
They said all the thing he was needin'
If he was to keep on pleasin' all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads
He got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load
Down off of that blues man
And he sang
Hey baby I love you too
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 cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out
With this blues man
He's over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around
With that blues man
