i`m a rollin` stone all alone and lost
for a life of sin I have paid the cost
when I walk 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 makes a life like mine
all the day we met, I went astray
i started rolling down this lost highway
i was just a lad, nearly twenty two
neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
and now i`m lost, too late to pray
lord i paid a cost, on the lost highway
now boy`s don`t start to ramblin` round
on this road of sin are you sorrow bound
take my advice or you`ll curse the day
you started rollin` down that lost highway
