I'm a rolling stone All alone and lost Oh, the life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by All the people say Just another guy On the lost highway
For a deck of cards And a jug of gin And a woman's lies Built this road of sin
The day we met I went astray Started rolling down That lost highway
I was just a lad Nearly twenty-two Neither good nor bad Just a guy like you
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 Are you sorrow bound?
Take my advice Or you're cursed the day You've paid the price Of the lost highway
