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
