Lyric The Blues Man

George Jones & Dolly Parton

(George Jones)
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.

(Dolly Parton)
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.

(George Jones)
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.

(Both)
Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you too
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin band. (I know you do get tired)
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.
