(D)I'm a rollin' stone all (G) alone and (D) lost 
For a life of sin I have paid the (A) cost 
When I pass (G) by all the people (D) say 
Just another guy (A) on the lost (D) highway 
 
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine 
And a woman's lies makes 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 take a cost, o the lost highway 
 
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round 
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound 
Take my advice or you'll curse the day 
You started rollin' down that lost highway
