I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost
When I pass by, all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies make a life like mine
On the day we met, I went astray
I started rollin' down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two
Neither good or bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway
Now, boys, don't start your ramblin' round
On a road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
