Alan Jackson The Blues Man Lyrics

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 some things that messed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was born in the spotlight not too much left insite
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
Short Gtr Lead
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.
