Bluesman (Understand)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've traveled for miles around
It seems like everybody wanna put me down
Because I'm a blues man
But I'm a good man, understand
I went down to the bus station
Looked up on the wall
My money was too light, people
Couldn't go nowhere at all
I'm a blues man
But a good man, understand
The burdens that I carry are so heavy, you see
It seems like it ain't nobody in this great big world
That would wanna help old B.
But I will be all right, people
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
And I've waited a long time
I'm a blues man but a good man, understand
