        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
