Walking in the Shadow of the Blues

[00:29.35] I love the blues, they tell my story
[00:34.06] If you don't feel it, you can never understand
[00:38.52] So many times I thought about it
[00:43.25] And now I know just what it means to be a man
[00:48.23] Everyday I realize, you can see it in my eyes
[00:52.52] I never wait or hesitate
[00:57.64] 'Cause I love the life I live
[00:59.90] I'm gonna live the life I choose
[01:04.30] You gotta understand
[01:07.11] I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
[01:09.85]
[01:20.22] All of my life, I've had a shady reputation
[01:24.93] I've been the black sheep of the family all along
[01:29.59] I never know if in my heart, l'm really guilty
[01:34.18] But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
[01:39.07] Everyday I realize, you can see it in my eyes
[01:43.55] I never wait or hesitate
[01:48.30] 'Cause I love the life I live
[01:50.83] Gonna live the life I choose, yeah
[01:54.94] You gotta understand
[01:57.96] I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
[02:02.39] Oh yeah
[02:03.41]
[02:11.48] My father said, "You're crazy"
[02:13.50] He said, "What you gonna do?"
[02:16.19] I left with my guitar and said, "I'll leave it up to you"
[02:20.46] I'm gonna live the life I love
[02:23.14] And live the life I choose, yeah
[02:27.49] And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
[02:31.23]
[03:24.69] I love the blues, they tell my story
[03:29.23] If you don't feel it, I will tell you once again
[03:33.90] All of my life, I've been caught up in a crossfire
[03:38.66] 'Cause I've been branded with the devil mark of Cain
[03:43.49] Everyday I realize, you can see it in my eyes
[03:47.87] I never wait or hesitate
[03:52.79] 'Cause I love the life I live
[03:55.04] I'm gonna live the life I choose, yeah
[03:59.10] You gotta understand
