I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin, I've paid the cost
When I pass by, all the people say
"Just another soul on the lost highway"

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a pack of lies make a life like mine
On the day we met, I went astray
Started rollin' down that lost highway

I was just a boy, nearly twenty-two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Already paid the cost on the lost highway

Now, boys don't start your ramblin' round
On the road of sin or you're sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
