Living on the Highway L RussellD Nix



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
