Leon Russell
Living On The Highway
Yes it was many years ago
I was fourteen years old
When I first heard that wolfman's howl
Yes he sneaked me through the door
There was whisky on the floor
And the fuzz, it was on the prowl
Well it seems so long ago
I'm living on the highway now
Well he's a giant 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
And living on thе highway now, yeah
Well I played thе blues with Waters
And Muddy pulled me through
I know a Jimmy Rogers song or two
But there's one thing that I know
No matter where I go
I can do a little howling too
Yeah that's why I sing the blues
I'm living on the highway now
Well the years have come and gone
But the blues still go on
I only sing my songs for fun
Yes, well if you want me to
I'll do a song for you
Cos the women like to see me come
Yes my guitar and my band
We're living on the highway now, yeah
