Walking in the Shadow of the Blues (Live at The Mechanics, Burnley 2004) - M3

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

He tells 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

And 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
