I'm a rolling stone, I'm all alone and lost For a life of sin, I have paid the cost Oh, when I pass, all the people say"There goes another boy walkin' down the lost 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, Lord I went astray I got me rollin' down that ol' lost highway I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two Neither good or bad, just a kid like you Now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway Hey boys, don't start, let's keep it ramblin' 'round On this road of sin, you're sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that ol' lost highway Oh, you're rollin' down that ol' lost highway
