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 lie makes a life like mine The day we met I went astray I started rolling down that lost highway [ guitar ] I was just a lad nearly twenty-two Neither good nor bad just a kid like you But 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 curse the day You started rolling down that lost highway
