It was twenty years ago, I was about fourteen years old, When I first heard that Wolfman's howl. He sneaked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor, And the fuzz they were on the prowl It seems so long ago, I'm living on the Highway now
He's a giant of a man, He always understands The very best notes to use His hand make two of mine, his heart beat right on time He taught me how to sing the blues He's the reason why I choose to live on the highway now
I played the blues with Walter, and Muddy pulled me through I know a Jimmy Rogers song or two But there's one thing I know, no matter where I go I can do a little howling too That's why I sing these blues, I'm living on the highway now
The years have come and gone but the blues still go on I only sing my songs for fun If you ask me to, I'll do a song for you, 'Cause the women like to see me come Me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now
