Walking in the shadow of the blues Sözleri

(Coverdale/Marsden)

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
