Blues Man Lyrics

Blues man
Play your hand
Do it right
Come on strong
Don't stay long
Runnin' wild
Singin' child
Powered sound
Push you hard
Lookin' to get down
Such a waste
Y'left such a space
I shared your dreams
I felt your heart
Did I hear you scream
Runnin' scared
Y'run everywhere
Could not choose
Where to hide
Play the blues
Played it mad
Played it sad
Blues is pain
The way men cry
Like tired rain
Blues is mean
The real thing
Three good men
I knew well
Never see again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
