George Jones, Dolly Parton - The Blues Man lyrics

I'm just a singer
A natural-born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
I'm not a walk-behinder
I'm a new note finder
But my name's a reminder
Of a blues man that's already gone
So I started drinking
Took some things that messed up my thinking
I was sure sinking, when she came along
I was alone in the spot light
Not too much left inside
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 don't have to prove to me
You're some kind of macho man
You've wasted so much of your life
Running through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light
Down on you blues man

I got so sick from speedin'
All the stuff they said I was needin'
If I was to keep pleasin' all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads
I got sued over no-shows
She came and took all that old load
Down off this blues man that's right
Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you too hey baby
I do get tired of this travelin' band
Oh, I'm up in my years now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out
With this blues man
Oh, I'm up in my years now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadn't hung around with this blues man
