The old man on the corner is singing my life
Playing guitar with a rusty old knife
Each line that he sings rhymes with the truth
The promise of something beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
Now you and me darling we took the long way around
Across the wide open country past the heart attack towns
To this fork in the road where we all have to choose
Between darkness and light, beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
Beyond the shadows and the rain
Beyond the darkness and beyond the pain
When you know in your heart
No way out but through
Walk with me darling
Beyond the blues
That old man on the corner
He's been gone for years
His guitar and his knife
Are all rusty with tears
But there's a song that he gave us
That we'll never have to lose
About another life waiting beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
Beyond the shadows and the rain
Beyond the darkness and beyond the pain
When you know in your heart
No way out but through
Take a walk with me darling
Beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
Love is the road that leads
Beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
Beyond the blues
