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.
