Walking in the shadow of the blues
| I love the blues, They tell my story, If you don't feel it you can never understand So many times I thought about it And now I know just what it means to be a man Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes I never wait, or hesitate. 'Cos I love the life I live, I'm gonna live the life I choose, You gotta understand I'm walking in the shadow of the blues All of my life I've had a strange reputation, I've been the black sheep of the family all along I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes I never wait, or hesitate. 'Cos I love the life I live, I'm gonna live the life I choose, You gotta understand I'm walking in the shadow of the blues My father said you're crazy, He said what you gonna do? I left with my guitar and said I'll leave it up to you I'm gonna live the life I love And live the life I choose, And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues I love the blues, They tell my story, If you don't feel it I will tell you once again All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire, 'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes I never wait, or hesitate. 'Cos I love the life I live, I'm gonna live the life I choose, You gotta understand I'm walking in the shadow of the blues, I'm walking in the shadow of the blues |
