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"
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 to ramblin' round
On this road of sin, are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
Started rollin' down that lost highway
