I'm just a singer
natural born guitar ringer
kind of a clinger
to sad 'ol songs
I'm not a walk behind
i'm a new note finder
but my names a reminder
of a blue's man thats already gone
So i started drinking
took things that messed up my thinking
i was surely sinking
when you came along
i was alone in the hot lights
not too much left inside
but she changed all that one night
when she sang me 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 night
let me shine some love light
down on the blues man
I got so sick from speeding
all the stuff they said i was needing
if i was to keep pleasing
all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads
i got sued over no shows
but you came and took all that old load
down off this blues man
Hey baby i love you too
hey baby i need you
hey baby i do get tired
of this traveling band
i'm thirty years old now
nights would be cold now
if you had'nt't stuck it out
with this blues man
I'm thirty years old now
nights sure would be cold now
if you hadn't hung around
with this blues man
