Old man on the corner, singing my life
He's playing guitar with a rusty old knife
Each line that he sings rhymes with the truth
And the promise of something beyond the blues
You and me darling took the long way around
Across the wide open country, past the heart attack town
Hit the fork in the road where we all have to choose
Between darkness and light, beyond the blues
Beyond the shadows, and the rain
Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain
You know in your heart there's no way I push through
Take a walk with me darling
Beyond the blues
Solo
That old man on the corner he's been gone for years
His guitar and knife all rusted with tears
There's a song that he gave us that we'll never have to lose
About another life waiting beyond the blues
Beyond the shadows, and the rain
Beyond the darkness, beyond the pain
You know in your heart there's no way I push through
Take a walk with me darling
Beyond the blues
Take a walk with me darling
Beyond the blues
