I’m 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 woman’s 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 I’m lost, too late to pray   Lord, I’ve paid the cost on the lost highway       Now, boys, don’t start your rambling round   On this road of sin or you’re sorrow bound   Take my advice or you’ll curse the day    You started rolling down that lost highway
