Whitesnake - Walking in the shadow of the blues - 2008 digital remaster lyrics

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 shady 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 knowin' 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, yeah You gotta understand I'm walking in the shadow of the blues, oh yeah 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, yeah You gotta understand I'm walking in the shadow of the blues I'm walking in the shadow of the blues, yeah
