I'm havin' trouble with my woman, all we do is fight
She wanna keep me home, but I go to work at night
There's nothin' I can do, she never understands
That's what it is, when you got a bluesman
She come home from her job, all ready to play
And I got a gig, so it don't go that way
I try to make her happy, doin' what I can
'Cause that's what it is, when you got a bluesman
I won't ever change, though she want me to
"Cause music is the thing, that I need to do
I can't walk away, oh no, from who I am
Ohhh, that's what it is, when you got a bluesman
Ohhh ohhh oooh oooh ohhh
I'm a bluesman, yeah a bluesman
I've got my guitar
And it treat me right, all around the world
Oh, that's what it is, when you got a bluesman
Oh, that's how it is
I'm goin' back down to Brentwood, Mississippi
I'm gonna stop by the home of big Albert
Albert King, he was a bluesman
Every day I go, I'm gonna take a piece of him with me
A bluesman, ohhh, that's what it is
Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, ohhh, Buddy Guy
I said I'm a bluesman
Ohhh, a bluesman
