Walking in the Shadows of Blues Songtext
von 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
'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, l′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
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, yeah
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, yeah
You gotta understand
I′m walking in the shadow of the blues
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues, yeah
