  • 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
    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

    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
