Most musicians struggle financially. Too many suffer with issues of substance abuse. This song song is inspired by a few very talented individuals, a couple of whom went onto enjoy some fame but left this world way too early.
Lyrics
Stumbling blues man with a guitar in his hand. Falling face first, got nowhere to land. Strumming the streets for free tips and booze, this stumbling blues man has got the stumbling man blues. Stumbling blues man, he's got the stumbling man blues. Nothing to eat, he's got no roof on his head. Playing the blues brings little bread. His clothes are torn, his toes stick out of his shoes. This stumbling blues man has got the stumbling man blues. Stumbling blues man, he's got the stumbling man blues. Nights he gigs at some dive downtown, he shows up early, starts hanging around. Downing free drinks like they're gonna run out. Gets on the stage, falls down and he's out. Stumbling blues man, he's got the stumbling man blues. Some people stumble every day of their lives. Others fly high despite all their strife. There but for the grace of God go we too, walking a thin line toward the stumbling man blues. Barely a kid at age twenty-five, got no idea what to do with his life. He spent five years just to get a degree, but a stumbling blues man is all that he wants to be. Stumbling blues man, he's got the stumbling man blues.
