George Jones:
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
My name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So I started drinking and took somethings
That meesed up my thinking
I was sure sinking when she came along
I was born in the spotlight not too much left inside
She changed all that one night
When she sang me this song
Dolly Parton:
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 the blues man
George Jones:
I got so sick of speeding all things
They said I was needing if I was to keep on pleasing all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads
I got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old down off of this blues man
George Jones & Dolly Parton:
And I sang
Hey baby I love you too
Hey baby I need you too
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band
I'm up in my years now
Nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
I'm up in my years now
Nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with this blues man
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
My name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So I started drinking and took somethings
That meesed up my thinking
I was sure sinking when she came along
I was born in the spotlight not too much left inside
