paroles de chanson The Blues Man - Hank Williams, Jr.

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 drinkin', took things that messed up my thinkin'
I was sure sinkin', when you came along
I was alone in the hot lights, not too much left in sight
But she changed all that one night, when she sang me this song

Hey baby, I love you
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, you ain't got 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 some love light down on the blues man

I got so sick from speedin', all the stuff they said I wasn't needin'
If I was to keep pleasin', all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no-shows
But she came and took all that old load, down off this blues man

Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin' band
I'm 30 years old now, nights would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

I'm 30 years old now, nights sure would be cold now
If you hadn't hung around with this blues man
