I'm just a singer I'm not your born guitar ringer I'm kind of a clinger To sad old songs I'm not a hay walk behind me I'm a new note finder My songs a reminder Of a blues man that's already gone So I started drinkin' Took things that messed up my thinkin' I was sure sinkin' And you came along I was alone in the hot spot Not too much left inside Bet you changed that one night When you sang me this song Hey baby, I love you Hey baby, I need you Hey baby, you don't have to show to me You're some kind of macho man You've spent so much of your life Runnin' through the dark night Let me shine some love light Down on this old blues man I got so tired of speedin' And all the things they said I was needin' If I was to keep pleasin' All of my fans I got cuffed on dirt roads I got sued over no shows But you came and took all that load Down off this old blues man Hey baby, I need you too Hey baby, I love you too Well baby, I do get tired Of this travelin' band I'm over 40 years old now Life would be cold now If you hadn't stayed around This old blues man I'm over 40 years old now Life would be cold now If you hadn't stayed around This old blues man
