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
