Whitesnake - Walking In The Shadow.... Lyrics






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

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

Whitesnake Walking In The Shadow.... Comments
  1. L.... R....

    Not as good as Culture Club.

  2. W.... G....

    One of the best songs that Coverdale ever sang. Did he fire the entire rest of the band after recording it? Or was that Here I go Again, from Saints & Sinners?

  3. M.... R....

    Great song

  4. F.... G....

    A great song by Coverdale & co

  5. D.... A....

  9. M.... 1....

    Kommt geil rüber , die Verknüpfung von Blues und Hard-Rock.(haben viele gute Songs gemacht, leider aber auch ins Kommerzielle abgerutscht) Neben Ronnie James einer der besten und herausragensden Sänger in diesem Genre.

  10. R.... S....

    Better stuff than what was released later.

  11. �.... ....

    H.... L....

    That cover art would look sick on an American truck, or a fighter jet.

    H.... L....

    Definitely true

    H.... L....

    Planning to get that tattood on my person someplace :p

  28. D.... S....

    For me, it's Whitesnake's best ever song, especially the Live In the Heart of the City version.   Saw them in Bristol 2 or 3 times late 70s, early 80s, their best era, with Messrs Coverdale/Lord/Paice/Marsden/Moody/Murray.

  29. C.... R....

    you gotta understand....

  30. l.... ....

    Super song!!!!!

  31. T.... B....

    could be Snake (Metal gear solid V's )theme song LOL.

  32. M.... S....

    Classic bluesy Whitesnake before they sold out to MTV! Glad I saw them in this era. Lord and Powell RIP. And, yes, I know it's Paicey on this album...

    M.... S....

    Actually Ian Paice wasn't on the album, it was David Dowle.

  33. b.... ....

    This was their opening song many times!

  34. b.... ....

    I think Bernie Marsden  was playing the Beast at that time.
    Fantastic Jam!

  58. A.... ....

    this was more a rebirth of Deep Purple - some great rock and roll - too bad they glammed it up later

  59. j.... ....

    This is the true Whitesnake. Not the glam/big hair metal version from 1987 onwards.

  60. D.... F....

    On the freeway, sun is hot and there's a bit of wind. Stereo up to stars and pedal to the floor. Amazing. ;)

  61. P.... H....

  62. L.... L....

    awesome
