| Im a rollin 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 womans lies makes a life like mine |
| O the day we met, I went astray |
| I started rolling down that lost highway |
| I was just a lad, nearly 22 |
| Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you |
| And now Im lost, too late to pray |
| Lord I take a cost, o the lost highway |
| Now boys 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 |
