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,
'cause I love the life I live,
gonna live the life I choose.
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the Blues.
All of my life I had a shaddy reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along.
And never known if in my heart I'm really guilty,
but I've been acused of never knowing right from wrong.
Everyday I realize,
you can see it in my eyes.
I never waited
or hesitated,
cause I love the life I live,
gonna live the life I choose, yeah.
You got to understand,
I'm walking in the shadow of the Blues. Oh yeah!
My father said Youre crazy!"
He said "What are you going to do?"
I left with my guitar and said "Ill leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I love,
and live the life I choose, yeah.
And I'm walking in the Shadow of the blues. Uh!
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,
cause I've been branded with the Devil's mark of cain
Everyday I realize
you can feel it in my eyes
I never wait
or hesitate.
Cause I love the life I live,
I'm gonna life the life I choose, yeah.
You got to understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the Blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the Blues. Yeahh. mmm.
