[VERSE 1]
        
It was twenty 

years ago, I w

as about fourt

een years old,
        
When I first h

eard that Wolf

man's howl.
      
He sneaked me 

through the do

or, there was 

whisky on the 

floor,
         
And the fuzz t

hey were on th

e prowl
           
It seems so lo

    
ng ago,
         
I'm living on

[VERSE 2]
        
He's a giant o

f a man, He al

ways understan

ds
     
The very best 

notes to use
     
His hand make 

two of mine, h

is heart beat 

right on time
    
He taught me h

ow to sing the

 blues
           
He's the reaso

            
n why I choose

        
 to live on th

                
e highway now

But there's on

e thing I know

, no matter wh

That's why I s

            
ing these blue

[VERSE 4]
     
The years have

 come and gone

 but the blues

 still go on
   
I only sing my

 songs for fun
        
If you ask me

song for you,
            
'Cause the wom

en like to see

 me come
          
Me and my guit
