The Blues Man
Love's Redemption: Unveiling the Soulful Tale of the Blues Man
Lyrics
I'm just a singer,
I identify as a singer.
A natural-born guitar ringer.
I possess a natural talent for playing the guitar.
Kind of a clinger,
I tend to cling emotionally, especially to melancholic songs.
To sad old songs.
I have a preference for sorrowful old songs.
I'm not a walk-behinder.
I don't follow others; I explore and discover new musical notes.
I'm a new note finder.
I'm innovative in finding new musical elements.
But my name's a reminder,
My name serves as a reminder of a blues man who has passed away.
Of a blues man that's already gone.
Reference to a blues man from the past.
So I started drinking.
I turned to drinking and made poor decisions.
Took things that messed up my thinking.
I consumed substances that clouded my judgment.
I was sure sinking, when you came along.
I was in a downward spiral until you entered my life.
I was alone in the hot lights
I was alone in the spotlight.
Not too much left inside.
I had little left within me.
But she changed all that one night,
Your presence and a song changed my perspective.
When she sang me this song.
Reference to a song that impacted the singer.
Hey baby, I love you.
Expressing love for the significant other.
Hey baby, I need you.
Emphasizing the need for the significant other.
Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me
Rejecting the need for proving masculinity.
You're some kind of macho man.
Commenting on the futility of proving toughness.
You wasted so much of your life,
Regret over wasting a considerable part of life.
Running through the dark nights.
Having faced challenges during dark times.
Let me shine some love light down on the blues man.
Requesting support and love for the blues man.
I got so sick from speedin'.
Experiencing negative consequences from a fast-paced lifestyle.
All the stuff they said I wasn't needin'.
Ignoring advice and indulging in unnecessary things.
If I was to keep pleasin'
Prioritizing pleasing fans over personal well-being.
All of my fans.
Being detained on rural roads.
I got cuffed on dirt roads.
Facing legal issues related to missed performances.
I got sued over no-shows.
Your support relieved me of these burdens.
But you came and took all that old load
Down off this blues man.
Continued appreciation and love for the significant other.
Hey baby, I love you too.
Reiterating love for the significant other.
Hey baby, I need you.
Expressing need for the significant other.
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin' band.
Acknowledging weariness from constant touring.
I'm 30 years old now,
Reflecting on the age of the blues man.
Nights would be cold now,
Life would be bleak without the significant other.
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man.
Expressing gratitude for sticking with the blues man.
I'm 30 years old now.
Reflecting on reaching the age of 30.
Nights sure would be cold now,
Highlighting the potential loneliness without the significant other.
If you hadn't hung around with this blues man.
Gratitude for the enduring presence of the significant other.
