THE BLUES MAN Alan Jackson
G# A#m
He's just a singer a natural born guitar ringer
D# G#
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
G# A#m
He's not a walk behinder He's a new note finder.
D# G#
He's an Angel's reminder of a blues man that's already gone
G# A#m
So he started drinking took things that messed up his thinking
D# G#
He was short of sinking Till she came a-long
G# A#m
He was alone in the spot light Not too much left inside
D# G#
She changed all that in just one night When she sang him this song
G# A#m
Hey Baby I love you Hey baby I need you
D# G#
Hey baby you ain't got to prove you're some kind of macho Man
G# A#m
You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
D# G#
Let me shine a little love light down that Blues Man go to lead
G# A#m
He got so sick from speedin' Doing all the things they said he was needin'
A#m D# G#
If he was to keep on pleasin' All of his fans
G# C#
He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no shows
D# G#
She came and took off that old load Down off that Blues Man And he sang
G# A#m
Hey Baby I love you too Hey baby I need you
D# G#
Oh baby I do get tire of this traveling band
G# A#m
I'm over 40 years old now Nights would be cold Now
A#m D# G#
If you hadn't stuck it out with this Blues Man
G# A#m
He's over 40 years old now Nights would be cold now
A#m D# G#
If she hadn't hung around with that Blues Man
