The Blues Man — текст песни (George Jones)

George Jones & Dolly Parton

(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. (I know you do get tired)
Oh, I`m up in my years now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadn`t stuck it out with this blues man
Oh, I`m up in my years now
Nights would be cold now
If you hadn`t hung around with this blues man.
