Walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,They tell my story,If you don't feel it you can never understandSo many times I thought about itAnd now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyesI never wait, or hesitate.'Cause I love the life I live,I'm gonna live the life I choose,You gotta understandI'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 alongI never know if in my heart I'm really guiltyBut, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyesI never wait, or hesitate.'Cause I love the life I live,I'm gonna live the life I choose,You gotta understandI'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 saidI'll leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I loveAnd 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 againAll of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,'Cause I've been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyesI never wait, or hesitate.'Cause I love the life I live,I'm gonna live the life I choose,You gotta understandI'm walking in the shadow of the blues,I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
