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,..
