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
(Solo)
Everyday of my life
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
