Standard (EADGBE)
Hes just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
Hes not a walk behinder, hes a new note finder
But his names a reminder of a blues man thats already gone
So he started drinkin, took some things that messed up his thinkin
He was sure sinkin when she came along
He was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight
She changed all that one night when she sang him this song
(chorus)
Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you
Hey baby you aint got to prove to me youre some kind of macho man
Youve wasted so much of your life, runnin through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light, down on that blues man.
He got so sick from speedin, all the things they said 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 an took all that old load down off that old blues man
And he sang
(chorus)
Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this travelin band
Im over forty years old now, nights would be cold now
If you hadnt stuck it out with this blues man
Hes over forty years old now, nights would be so cold now
If she hadnt hung around with that blues man.
