Blues Man (a Tribute To Hank Williams Jr

<br>He`s just a singer a natural born guitar ringer kind of a clinger to sad old songs<br>He`s not a walk-behinder he`s a new note finder<br>But his name`s a reminder of a blues man that`s already gone<br>So he started drinkin` took some things that messed up his thinkin`<br>He was sure sinkin` when she came along<br>He was alone in the spot light not too much left in sight<br>She changed all that one night when she sang him this song<br>Hey baby I love you hey baby I need you<br>Hey baby you ain`t got to prove to me you`re some kind of (macho) of man<br>You`ve wasted so much of your life runnin` through the dark nights<br>Let me shine a little love light down on that blues man<br>[ guitar ]<br>He got so sick from speedin` all the things they said he was needin`<br>If he was to keep on pleasin` all of his fans<br>He got cuffed on dirt roads he got sued over no shows<br>She came and took all that old load down off that blues man<br>And he sang hey baby I love you too hey baby I need you<br>Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band<br>I`m over forty years old now nights would be cold now<br>If you hadn`t stuck it out with this blues man<br>He`s over forty years old now nights would be so cold now<br>If she hadn`t hung around with that blues man<br>[ guitar - steel - guitar ]
