Transcribed by: Eddie Garcia ([email protected]) Uploaded by: Eddie Garcia ([email protected]) He s just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer Kind of a clinger to sad old songs He s not a walk behinder, he s a new note finder But his names 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 was to keep on pleasin all of his fans He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows She came an took all that old load down off that old blues man And he sang Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you Hey baby I do get tired of this travelin band I m over forty years old now, nights would be cold now If you hadn t stuck it out with this blues man He s over forty years old now, nights would be so cold now If she hadn t hung around with that blues man.
