| 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 |
