I'm a rollin' 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 For a deck of cards and a jug of gin And a woman's lies built this road of sin Oh, the day we met, I went astray Started rollin' down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two Neither good nor bad, just a guy like you Now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I take the cost on the lost highway Now boys, don't start your ramblin' round On this road of sin are you sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You paid the price on the lost highway
