Blues Man — текст песни (Hank Williams, Jr.)

I`m just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of an old 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 thats already gone

So I started drinkin`
And took things that messed up my thinkin`
I was sure sinkin`
When you came along

I was alone in the spotlight
Not too much left in sight
But she changed all that in one night
When she sang me this song

"Hey baby, I love you
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby , you ain`t gotta prove to me
you`re some kind of macho man
You wasted so much of your life
Runnin through the dark night
Let me shine some love light
Down on a blues man"

I got so sick of speed
And all the stuff they said I was needin
If I was to keep pleasin to all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads
I got sued for no-shows
But you came and took all that old load
down on this blues man

"Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin band
I`m thirty years old now
Nights would be cold now
If you wouldn`t have stuck it out
With this blues man"

I`m thirty years old now
Night sure would be cold now
If you hadn`t hung around
with this blues man
