Intro Old man on the corner, singing my life And he's playing that guitar with a rusty old knife And every line that he sings rhymes with the truth And the promise of something beyond the blues Beyond the blues Me and my darling took the long way around Through the wide open countries and the heart attack towns To every fork in the road where we've all got to choose Between darkness and light, beyond the blues Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain Beyond the darkness and all the pain When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues Beyond the blues Solo Old man on the corner has been gone for years And that guitar in the night bled rusty tears But there's a song that he left us we'll never lose That love is the road that leads beyond the blues Beyond the blues Beyond the blues, beyond the shadows, beyond the rain Beyond the darkness and all the pain When you're walking in circles, with holes in your shoes Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues Beyond the blues Love is the road that leads out beyond the blues
