He was a man A ramblin´ man he was yes he was Guitar in hand
His home was on the road and that´s where he was
He´s seen a thousand roads He´s been a million miles And when he´d bend a note A tear would fill my eyes Where are you playin´ Mr. Bluesman Mr. Bluesman
Town to town Honkytonks and dives all look the same His gipsy heart keeps his shadow ridin´ through the rain
A graveyard full of scars His life will paint his songs ´Cause when you´re on the road
There´s nowhere you belong You´re just alone Where are you playin´ Mr. Bluesman Mr. Bluesman
He´s seen a thousand roads He´s been a million miles And when he´d bend a note A tear would fill my eyes Where are you playin´ Mr. Bluesman Mr. Bluesman
I´ve paid some dues Now I make my living as a music man I play the blues I guess the blues must be just what I am
A graveyard full of scars His life will paint his songs ´Cause when you´re on the road There´s nowhere you belong You´re just alone Where are you playin´ Mr. Bluesman Mr. Bluesman
He´s seen a thousand roads He´s been a million miles And when he´d bend a note A tear would fill my eyes Where are you playin´ Mr. Bluesman Mr. Bluesman
