"The Blues Man"
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, took some things that messed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was alone in the spotlight, not too 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
You're 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 that blues man
He got so sick from speeding
All the 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 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
