Blues Man (tribute To Hank Jr.)

he's just a singer

A natural-born guitar ringer

Kind of clinger

To sad ole songs.



He's not a walk behinder

He's a new note finder

But 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 surely sinkin

When she came along.



He was alone in the hot lights

Not too much left in sight

But she changed all that in one night

When she sang him this song



Hey baby i love you

Hey baby i need you

Hey baby you don't need to prove to me

That you're some kind of macho man

You've wasted so much of your life

Runnin through the dark night

Let me shine some love light

Down on this blues man.



He was so sick from speedin

All that stuff they said he was needin

If he was to keep pleasin

All of his fans



He got cuffed on dirt roads

He got sued over no shows

But she took all that ole load

Down off this blues man.



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

For this blues man



I'm over 40 years old now

Nights would be cold now

If you hadn't stuck it out

For this blues man
