He's just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer   Kind of 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 drinkin', took somethings that messed up his thinkin'   He was sure sinkin', when she came along   He was born in the spot light, 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   Your 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's 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 forty years old now   Nights would be cold now   If you hadn't stuck it out   With this blues man      He's over forty years old now   Nights would be so cold now   If she hadn't hung around   With that blues man
