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 some lover's lies make a laugh like mine Oh, the day we met, I went astray I started rollin' down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly 22 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray While I take the cost on the lost highway ♪ Now, kids, don't start some ramblin' 'round On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound Take my advice or, or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway 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"
