I'm a rolling stone, I'm all alone and lost

For a life of sin, I have paid the cost

Oh, when I pass, all the people say

"There goes another boy walkin' down the lost highway"

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine

And a woman's lies makes a life like mine

Oh, the day we met, Lord I went astray

I got me rollin' down that ol' lost highway

I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two

Neither good or bad, just a kid like you

Now I'm lost, too late to pray

Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway

Hey boys, don't start, let's keep it ramblin' 'round

On this road of sin, you're sorrow bound

Take my advice or you'll curse the day

You started rollin' down that ol' lost highway

Oh, you're rollin' down that ol' lost highway
