Blues Man

Uncle Kracker · 72 & Sunny [2004]

Hey What 'chu tryin' to do

Why you tryin' to see through me baby

It's way too hazy

Hey I'm still feelin' the same

So don't go tryin' to change me baby

You can't save me

So many people try to bring me down

They wouldn't last a second in my town



CHORUS

Hey I've always been a blues man

Hey I little rhythm and blues man

Don't try walkin' inside my shoes

Unless you're puttin' up somethin' to lose

I said Hey I've always been a blues man

Hey a little rhythm and blues man

Don't try walkin' inside my shoes tonight



You stem so far from the truth

You hide inside all your talkin' papers

Flashin' statements

You never put your money down

And watched a big wheel go around and take it

And in remake it

All you do is follow me around

Then you go ahead and ride it down



REPEAT CHORUS



Don't try walkin' inside my shoes

Unless you're puttin' up somethin' to lose

I said don't try walkin' inside my shoes baby baby

I said Hey I've always been a blues man

Hey a little rhythm and blues man

Don't try walkin' inside my shoes

Unless your puttin' up somethin' to lose

I said Hey I've always been a blues man

Hey A little rhythm and blues man

Don't try walkin' inside my shoes

Unless your unless your unless your

Hey I've always been a blues man

Hey A little rhythm and blues man

Don't try walkin' inside my shoes tonight
