lyrics

yes, every man has his own way
some are the big streets, some the highways
I'm driving slow, but I feel okay
cause I enjoy the sights on the sideways

some men rise fast and fall harder
some are icemen, some firestarters
but I prefer the warmth of the human hearts
cause rock and blues is what I care for

what I care for

some like the things that are pretty
they want it all - that's pretty greedy
I never said that I'm the one who's free from blame
but I try my best to do things my way

this restless world is a battle
I'm not afraid of weapons rattle
but I keep my cool and choose my own fights
cause rock and blues is what i'd fight for

what I'd fight for

some waters're deep as they are old
some fresh and wild, young and so bold
my soul feels old but my heart is young
one part's the blues, rock's the other

some men deny being animal
and some don't know what a brain's for
I'm just a man and take the middle path
made out of flesh and I have soul

yes, we have soul

the life has a hard beating rythm
with the lyrics sparse or unwritten
but I don't mind if it still has some soul
cause rock and blues is what I live for

sometimes we're sad, sometimes happy
like men the moods have their own ways
so let us ride along the paths of life
enjoy our time and meet someday

lets meet someday
