Im 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 womans lies make a life like mine
Oh, the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now Im lost, too late to pray
Lord, Ive paid the cost on the lost highway
Now, boys, dont start your rambling round
On this road of sin or youre sorrow bound
Take my advice or youll curse the day
You started rolling down that lost highway
