Blues Man

I got my heart in my hand it’s breaking slow

The road is long but I’ve nowhere to go

Dust on my boots and a hole in my soul

The blues man’s life is a heavy toll

A bottle of whiskey a pack of regrets

Every mile I walk I ain't found it yet

The sky keeps crying like it knows my name

I chase the thunder but I can't win the game

Oh blues man blues sing it deep sing it true

Let the pain roll out like the morning dew

With your six-string friend and a voice so torn

You’ve been singing the blues since the day you were born

The stars they whisper but they don’t shine bright

A harmonica wails through the lonely night

My shadow’s my partner it don’t leave my side

We walk together on this endless ride

Every chord I play cuts like a knife

These blues are my burden they’re my life

But in the sorrow I find my sound

The deeper I sink the more I’m found

Oh blues man blues sing it deep sing it true

Let the pain roll out like the morning dew

With your six-string friend and a voice so torn

You’ve been singing the blues since the day you were born
