Touching Silk |
He’s just a singer |
A natural born guitar ringer |
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs |
He’s not a walk behinder |
He’s a new note finder |
His name’s a reminder |
Of a blues man that’s already gone |
So he started drinking |
Took somethings that messed up his thinking |
He was sure sinking when she came along |
He was born in the spotlight |
Not to much left insight |
She changed all that one night |
When she sang him this song |
Hey baby I love you |
Hey baby I need you |
Hey baby you ain’t got to prove to me |
Your some kind of macho man |
You wasted so much of your life |
Running through the dark nights |
Let me shine a little love-light down on that blues man |
He got so sick from speedin' |
All the thing he was needin' |
If he was to keep on pleasin' all of his fans |
He got cuffed on dirt roads |
He got sued over no shows |
She came and took all that old load |
Down off of that blues man and he sang |
Hey baby I love you too |
Hey baby I need you |
Hey baby I do get tired |
Of this traveling band |
I’m over 40 years old now |
Nights would be cold now |
If you hadn’t stuck it out with this blues man |
He’s over 40 years old now |
Nights would be so cold now |
If she hadn’t hung around with that blues man |
