The Man - Aloe Blacc & Pegasus

He's just a singer A natural born guitar ringer Kind of a clinger to sad old songs He's not a walk behinder He's a new note finder His name's a reminder of a blues man That's already gone So he started drinking and took some things That messed up his thinking He was sure sinking when she came along He was alone in the spotlight not to much left inside She changed all that one night When she sang him this song Hey baby, I love you Hey baby, I need you Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me You're some kind of macho man You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights Let me shine a little love light down on that blues man He got so sick from speeding All the things they said he was needing If he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no-shows She came and took all that old load down off of that blues man And he sang Hey baby, I love you too Hey baby, I need you Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band I'm over 40 years old now Nights would be cold now If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man He's over 40 years old now Nights would be so cold now If she hadn't hung around with that blues man

Growin' up, there wasn't much my daddy couldn't fix If it wouldn't work, he'd make the old look new again The house, the fence, the bike, the car The little girl tears from a broken heart Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is It's never gonna fly if he's the kinda guy that doesn't fish He better keep his word, ain't afraid to work, and knows who he is Strong with his hands, gentle with his touch And no such thing as lovin' me too much Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is A man of few words, a man who leads The man he is is who he wants for me Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is To find a man that's half the man my daddy is

We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes "I thought you died alone A long, long time ago" Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely stare At all the millions here We must have died alone A long long time ago Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world
