[Interlude]
Remember this one?
Come on!
Oh, look out!
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Everyday I realise, you can see it in my eyes
I never wait or hesitate
'Cause I love the life I live
I'm gonna live the life I choose
You gotta understand, baby
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
[Verse 2]
All of my life, I've had a shady reputation
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart, l'm really guilty
But I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
[Chorus]
Everyday I realise, 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, baby
[Verse 3]
Come on, sing this one with me
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
[Guitar Interlude]
[Verse 4]
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 was branded with the devil mark of Cain
[Chorus]
Everyday I realise, you can see it in my eyes
'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, yeah
