    G+G
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

  G+G
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
