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
