The Blues Man Lyrics

I'm just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer

    It very well could be about John cash and George Jones. Who lived through a fast pace life who both had women who rescued them.

    I don’t think it’s about Hank Williams Junior or Waylon Jennings or George Jones, lets not forget about Johnny Cash and June Carter saving him, Johnny Cash dang near died on cocaine and booze and she knew he needed help, just my thoughts, thanks

    It's about him destroying himself and her coming and saving him when he was at rock bottom.

    It's about a man destroying himself, and he meets a girl and finds true love.
