It was twenty years ago, I was about fourteen years old,
D MajorD
When I first heard that Wolfman's howl.
G+G
He sneaked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor,
D MajorD
And the fuzz they were on the prowl
Bb7Bb7 A7A7
It seems so long ago,
G7G7 G#7G#7 A7A7 D MajorD
I'm living on the Highway now
G+G
He's a giant of a man, He always understands
D MajorD
The very best notes to use
G+G
His hand make two of mine, his heart beat right on time
D MajorD
He taught me how to sing the blues
Bb7Bb7 A7A7 G7G7 G#7G#7 A7A7 D MajorD G7G7
He's the reason why I choose to live on the highway now

I played the blues with Walter, and Muddy pulled me through
D MajorD
I know a Jimmy Rogers song or two
G+G
But there's one thing I know, no matter where I go
D MajorD
I can do a little howling too
Bb7Bb7 A7A7 G7G7 G#7G#7 A7A7 D MajorD
That's why I sing these blues, I'm living on the highway now
G+G
The years have come and gone but the blues still go on
D MajorD
I only sing my songs for fun
G+G
If you ask me to, I'll do a song for you,
D MajorD
'Cause the women like to see me come
Bb7Bb7 A7A7 G7G7 G#7G#7 A7A7 D MajorD
Me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now
