I'm just a singer

A natural born guitar ringer

blues man that already gone

I was alone in the hotlight

G
when she sang me this song

Hey baby I love you
Am
Hey baby I need you

Hey baby you ain't gotta prove to me your some kind of macho man
You waisted so much of your life

Runnin through the dark night

Let me shine some love light

Down on a blues man
Little BREAK
Same chords as before:
I got so sick of speed an
all the stuff they said I was needin
If I was to keep pleasin to all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads
I got sued for no shows
But you came and took all that old load down on this blues man
Hey baby I love you too
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this travelin band
G
I'm thirty years old now
Am
nights would be cold now
D
If you wouldn't have stuck it out
G
with this blues man
I'm thirty years old now
Night sure would be cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out
with this blues man
