        G
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
