[Lyric] Walking in the Shadow of the Blues Live (The Company of Snakes)

[Intro]
Clap your hands

[Verse 1]
I love the blues, they tell my story
If you don't feel it, you'll never understand
So many times I've thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man

[Chorus]
Every day 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

[Verse 2]
Oh, all of my life I've had the same reputation
I've been the black sheep of the family for so long
I nеver knew in my heart I'm rеally guilty
I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
[Chorus]
Every day 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

[Bridge]
My father said I'm crazy, he said, "What you gonna do?"
So I picked up my guitar and said, "I'll leave it up to you"
Love the life I live, live the life I choose
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

[Verse 3]
I love the blues, they tell my story
And if you don't feel it, then I'll tell you once again
So many times I've been caught up in a crossfire
I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong

[Outro]
Every day I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait or hesitate
'Cause I love the life I live, live the life I choose
Walking in the shadow of the blues

[Interlude]
We're gonna do a song now, uh
From the Ready an' Willing album, this is the first thing that we all recorded together, so, uh
Kinda right that we should do this
The song called "Ready an' Willing", hope you like it
