It was twenty years ago, I was about fourteen years old,
D
When I first heard that Wolfman's howl.
G
He sneaked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor,
D
And the fuzz they were on the prowl
Bb7 A7
It seems so long ago,
G7 G#7 A7 D
I'm living on the Highway now
G
He's a giant of a man, He always understands
D
The very best notes to use
G
His hand make two of mine, his heart beat right on time
D
He taught me how to sing the blues
Bb7 A7 G7 G#7 A7 D G7
He's the reason why I choose to live on the highway now

G
I played the blues with Walter, and Muddy pulled me through
D
I know a Jimmy Rogers song or two
G
But there's one thing I know, no matter where I go
D
I can do a little howling too
Bb7 A7 G7 G#7 A7 D
That's why I sing these blues, I'm living on the highway now
G
The years have come and gone but the blues still go on
D
I only sing my songs for fun
G
If you ask me to, I'll do a song for you,
D
'Cause the women like to see me come
Bb7 A7 G7 G#7 A7 D
Me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now
