"Lost Highway" lyrics

Lost Highway

Just 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
Down the lost highway

I was just a lad
Nearly twenty two
Not bad, not good
Just a kid like you
But now I'm lost
Too late to pray
Lord, I'm rolling down
That 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 rolling down
That lost highway

Now boys don't start
To rambling round
On this road of sin
Or you're sorrow bound
Take my advice
Or you curse the day
You started rolling down
That lost highway
