His parents knew when he was young
He had a driving force
His soul was set on something else
That he could not ignore
Singing corner harmonies
The blues will set him free
He's a bluesman, that's right
He's a bluesman, that's right
He roamed throughout the country side
Trying to find his voice
Wading through a sea of words
Contemplating every choice
Tossing it all together now
Feel the sadness and the joy
He's a bluesman, that's right
He's a bluesman, that's right
Listen in the darkness
You can hear him take flight
Come on Bluesman
Sing us a song tonight
Come on Bluesman
Make us feel alright, tonight
You can hear him every evening
Listen to him wail
Pounding on the strings
It's blood and sweat and steel
Just give him a minute
And he'll stop time tonight
He a bluesman that's right
He a bluesman that's right
The years have given evidence
Of crimes against the night
The equipment just gets heavier
The lift takes all his might
The pleasure still out weighs the pain
That's what keeps him sane
He a bluesman that's right
He a bluesman that's right
Listen in the darkness
You can hear him take flight
Come on Bluesman
Sing us a song tonight
Come on Bluesman
Make us feel alright, tonight
