Walking in the Shadow of the Blues - 2011 Remastered Version - Whitesnake

I love the blues, they tell my story

If you don't feel it you can never understand

So many times I've 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 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 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, gonna live the life I choose, yeah

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, yeah

And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues, huh

I love them 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, yeah
