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
