I'm a rolling stone, all alone at last
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost
When I pass by, all the people say
I'm 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 straight
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 I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord, I paid the cost on the lost highway
Now, boys don't stop to ramble around
On this road of sin, are you sorrow bound?
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rolling down that lost highway
