Текст песни The Blues Man

(George Jones)

I'm just a singer

A natural-born guitar ringer

Kind of a 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 that's already gone.

So I started drinking

Took some things that messed up my thinking

I was sure sinking, when she came along

I was alone in the spot light

Not too much left inside

She changed all that one night

When she sang me this song.

(Dolly Parton)

Hey baby, I love you

Hey baby, I need you

Hey baby, you don't have to prove to me

You're some kind of macho man

You've wasted so much of your life

Running through the dark nights

Let me shine a little love light down on you blues man.

(George Jones)

I got so sick from speedin'

All the stuff 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

She came and took all that old load

Down off this blues man. That's right.

(Both)

Hey baby, I love you too

Hey baby, I need you too

Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin' band.

(Dolly)

(I know you do get tired)

(Both)

Oh, I'm up in my years now

Nights would be cold now

If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

(George)

Oh, I'm up in my years now

(Both)

Nights would be cold now

If you hadn't hung around with this blues man.
