I'm walking in the heat
Never in the shade
It's not by my own making
It's just how I am made
Yeah walking in the sun
Moving down the track
I'll be taking of the cross
That is burning on my back
The spirit is free, the rhythm is loose
And I'm slow dancing
I'm dancing with the blues
I'm beaten like a dog
Hiding in a hole
I'm shaking of the shivers
That lay heavy on my soul
I'm beaten really bad
My heart is black and blue
Freedom's weighing heavy
On this stony road to you
The spirit is free, the rhythm is loose
And I'm slow dancing
I'm dancing with the blues
I'm living life in blue
And dark shades of grey
And damn them if they hate it
I'm doing it my way
I'm living life in full
I'm really doin' well
When I end up in pieces
It'll be in my own hell
The spirit is free, the rhythm is loose
And I'm slow dancing
I'm dancing with the blues
