The Blues Man - Hank Williams Jr.

He’s just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer

Kind of a clinger, to sad ole 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 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

Hey, baby, I love you, hey, baby, I need you

Hey, baby, you ain’t got to prove to me you’re some kind of macho man

You’ve 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 is to keep on pleasin', all of his fans

He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows

She came and took all that ol' load, down off that blues man

And he said…

Hey, baby, I love you too, hey, baby, I need you

Hey, baby, I do get tired, of this travellin' band

I’m over 40 years old now, nights would be cold now

If you hadn’t stuck it out, with this blues man

He’s over 40 years old now, nights would be so cold now

If she hadn’t hung around, with that blues man
