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 lies

make a life like mine

oh the day we met i went astray

i started rollin down

that lost highway

i was just a lad nearly twenty two

neither good nor bad

just a kid like you

and now i'm lost too late to pray

lord i've paid the cost

on the lost highway

now boys don't start

your ramblin round

on this road of sin or

you're sorrow bound

take my advice or you'll curse the day

you started rollin

down that lost highway
