Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues Lyrics

Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues
by Whitesnake
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. 

(Solo) 

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.
