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
It's 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
the day we met I went astray
& started rolling down that lost highway

boys don't you start
that rambling round
down the road of sin
or you're sorrow bound
take my advice or you'll curse the day
you started rolling down that lost highway
