Testo: George Jones. The Blues Man.

Im just a singer a natural born guitar ringer kind of a clinger to sad old songs
Im not a walk-behinder Im a new note finder
But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone
So I started drinkin' took some things that messed up my thinkin'
I was sure sinkin' when she came along
I was alone in the spot light not too much left in sight
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 got to prove to me you're some kind of macho of man
You've wasted so much of your life runnin' through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light down on you blues man
I got so sick from speedin' all the things they said I was needing iff I was to keep on pleasing 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 And I sang hey baby I love you too hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band
I'm up in my years now nights would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
I'm up in my years now nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with this blues man.
