  • I'm 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 woman's 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 twenty two
    Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
    And now I'm lost, too late to pray
    Lord I take a cost, on the lost highway

    Now boy's 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
