Alan Jackson - "Blues Man" 

Lyrics: 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 But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone So I started drinkin', took some things that messed up my thinkin' I was sure sinkin' when she came along I was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight She changed all that one night when she sang me this song Hey baby, I love you, hey baby, I need you Hey baby, you don't have to prove to me you're some kind of macho man You've wasted so much of your life runnin' through the dark nights Let me shine a little love light down on you, blues man I got sick from speedin' all the 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 load down off of this blues man 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 know you do get tired I'm up in my years now, nights would be so cold now If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man Oh, I'm up in my years now, nights would be oh so cold now If she hadn't hung around with this blues man

This is actually a song written by Hank Jr about his own life. Alan Jackson sure does it justice.

At one time I was so concerned about country music. I grew up with both Hank's the Hag the man in black and obviously the possum,Roy Clark Loretta Lynn Dolly Parton and several others. But after awhile I started hearing these new country artist singing. I was disappointed to say the least. Then while driving to work one day I heard the DJ say and here's a new country music artist that's coming on strong here's Alan Jackson. I was immediately hooked. Alan Jackson and George Strait keep country music going. But who's next people? In other words who's going to fill their shoes?

Omg alan does this not speak to everyone and credit to Hank👍👍👍👍👆👆👆🌹🌹❤

recently saw him in concert in Phoenix. Still an incredible performer. Sad that his neurological disorder is affecting his walking but his voice is still as beautiful as ever. Love Alan Jackson's music. It was bitter sweet for me since I brought my sister who is battling cancer for the 2nd time. She also had to lean on me for support to walk the stairs due to severe neuropathy in her legs. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to bring her to Alan's last tour concert. She's still fighting and we're praying for remission.

Man ... how can a song be so sad but so happy. This song makes you want to hug your kids, cry over old pictures, think of memories, and just immediately appreciate what is truly important.

Alan did it justice. Hank was grinning ear to ear.

I only deal in facts. Alan Jackson is definitely one of country music's greatest. If not the greatest living anyway. Don't disagree because I'm always right.😜

Nobody could have done justice to that song like Alan Jackson did.🙏👊👍

Just can't get enough of Mr. Alan Jackson! What an Amazing Country Artist! The best of the best!!!

Tomorrow me and the wife celebrate 37 yrs of marriage and she's the one that helped this Blues man. Love that woman no matter.

"Hey baby, i love you too". Just those 4 seconds are better than many full songs that come out these days. Great respect A.J.

He will always be one of the greatest country singers for his time and no one can ever say otherwise.

I love how Mr. Jackson adds his magic in vocals, and his band continues to bring out the words instrumentally 5:03 5:03 (I don't know if instrumentally is even a word). What an amazing piece of vocal and onstrument art.

This song was written for Alan to sing so we all could enjoy thanks

This beats the skinny jeans off that new “club” country, seven days a week.

I really love all his song I’m a music lover I m turning 76 n I like country music song thank you for all the music like this

Excellence on display here. Probably the best country song .

Thank you Mr. Allen Jackson.

Alan is a GIANT in his own right! Great performance by a great singe! Much respect!

King of the blues now

One of the greats

God we had it good. There will never be music like this. I'm just glad I got to experience it

When you see a true artist take an amazing song of the original artist, tweak it and play it as a tribute to the original, ultimate level of respect.

I grew up with country and glad I did

The song is great. But the best part is at the end when Allen shakes Hank's hand. Two legends for sure. They both get all of my respect.

Alan Jackson you are the best, saw you in concert in Canada, you were phenomenal, you’re always my favourite, and will always be the best

Awe what a tribute to Hank Jr. Alan did a great job of this song , such a talented man!!!👌

My husband sang karaokes. He's was awesome. He always sang to me. This was one of his best. In loving memory of Timothy Beam. I'll see you again one day.

Amazing

Best blues man there is Alan Jackson

Nobody could have done this song like Alan Jackson. And Hank Junior knew it!

It is really special when a blues man has someone to love

His voice was just perfect for country songs. This song will never get old. I absolutely love Hank Jr, but Alan's version too..

Once in all of our lives god gives us someone who enters our life and turns us around! Not all of have been cuffed on actual dirt roads or been sued over no shows! But sometime in our life we needed that special person to show the way. I lost the love of my life less than a month ago she rescued me at the bottom of the hill ! I love this song

Heart felt sadness for you & your family having recently lost my husband of 40+ years I feel for you 😢😢😢💔
