the blues man
alan jackson
a natural born guitar ringer
to sad ole songs. he's not a walk behinder
of a blues man that's already gone. so he started drinkin'
took some things that messed up his thinkin'
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
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 is to keep on pleasin'
he got cuffed on dirt roads
he got sued over no shows
she came and took all that ole load
i'm over 40 years old now
if you hadn't stuck it out
he's over 40 years old now
nights would be so cold now
if she hadn't hung around
