Lyrics of An Old Blues Man

Having spent his whole life
The road was his wife
Playing song after song
He's a new note finder
But his age is a reminder
Of a blues man that's already gone

He remembers dark nights
Spent under bright lights
Playing for all of his fans
Always so pleasing
Giving them what they are needing
The only way that he can

A natural singer
A fine guitar picker
The crowd gets what they came for
At the end of the night
They leave feeling so right
yearning to come back for more

( How about some fine blues guitar picking here)

A natural singer
A fine guitar picker
He gives the crowd what they came for
At the end of the night
They leave feeling so right
But will always come back for more

( Then he does the rest of the song in first person )

Ya know...It's time I unload this life on the road
Say farewell to this traveling band
The nights are getting cold
I'm seventy years old
I'm an old blues man

I spent my whole life
The road was my wife
Playing song after song
I'm a new note finder
But my age is a reminder
Of a blues man that's already gone
I'm a blues man that's already gone
