Lyrics
Yes, it was many years ago
I was fourteen years old
When I first heard that poor man's howl
Yes, he'd sneak me through the door
There was whiskey on the floor
And the fuzz there was on the wall
Well it seems so long ago
I'm livin' on the highway now
Well, he's a child of a man
He always understands
The very best notes to use
Yes, his hand makes two of mine
His heart beats right on time
He taught me how to sing the blues
Yes, he's the reason why I choose
Livin' on the highway now
Well I've played the blues and waters
And Muddy pulled me through
I know a Jimmy Rodgers song or two
But there's one thing that I know
No matter where I go
I can do a little howlin' too
Yeah, that's why I sing the blues
I'm livin' on the highway now
Well, the years have come and gone
But the blues still go on
I only sing my songs for fun
Yeah, but if you want me to
I'll do a song for you
'Cause the women like to see me come
Yes, my guitar and my band
We're livin' on the highway now
