Living On the Highway

Yes, it was twenty years ago, I was about fourteen years old

When I first heard that wolf man howl

Yes, he sneaked me through the door

There was whisky on the floor

And the fuzz they were on the prowl

Yes, it seems so long ago

I'm living on the highway now

Yes, 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

Yes, 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 Jimmie Rodgers song or two

But there's one thing I know

No matter where I go

I can do a little howlin' too

That's why I sing these blues

I'm living on the highway now

Yes, years have come and gone

But the blues still go on

I only sing my songs for fun

Yes if you ask me to

I'll do a song for you

'Cause the women like to see me come

Yes, me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now

Say wolf man

What you doin' with that long knife in your pocket?

(Let me tell you somethin', boy)

(I would rather go to your funeral any day, if you come to mine )

That is sure cold man

Mmm, yeah

Mmm

(You better cut out that heart, 'cause leave that to me)

Mmm

Yeah

(Better watch yourself, son, you gonna hurt your self)
