1. LONG WAY FROM HOME

I would do anything i could to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
To be at your side
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire
Believe me, baby, when i say
I will drink you dry

I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' i don't know what i'm gonna do

I'd been looking for love for so long when i found you,
Too many years i walked alone
When i touch you inside i feel you burning me with fire,
Believe me baby when i say
I will feed the flame

I would do anything to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' i don't know what i'm gonna do

I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' i don't know what i'm gonna do

I would do anything i could to be near you,
Check in on any night time flight, i don't mind
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire
Believe me baby when i say
I will drink you dry

I would do anything to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
I see your face in the night
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' i don't know what i'm gonna do

It's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' i don't know what i'm gonna do,
It's a long long way from home


2. WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES

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
