Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues Lyrics - Rough An' Ready - 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. 

''cause 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. 

'Cause 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, 

'Cause 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. 

'Cause 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
