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"
