He's just a singerA natural born guitar ringerKind of a clinger to sad old songsHe's not a walk behinderHe's a new note finderHis name's a reminder of a blues manThat's already goneSo he started drinking and took somethingsThat meesed up his thinkingHe was sure sinking when she came alongHe was born in the spot light not to much left insideShe changed all that one nightWhen she sang him this songHey baby I love youHey baby I need youHey baby you ain't got to prove to meYour some kind of macho manYou wasted so much of your life running through the dark nightsLet me shine a little love light down on the blues manHe got so sick of speeding all thingsThey said he was needing if he was to keep on pleasing all of his fansHe got cuffed on dirt roadsHe got sued over no showsShe came and took all that old down off of that blues manAnd he sangHey baby I love you toHey baby I need youHey baby I do get tired of this traveling bandI'm over 40 years old nowNights would be so cold now iIf you hadn't stuck it out with this blues manI'm over 40 years old nowNights would be so cold nowIf she hadn't hung around with that blues man.
