Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues

(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
