[Verse 1]
I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost
When I walk by, all the people say
"Just another guy on the lost highway"

[Verse 2]
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And some lover's lies make a laugh like mine
Oh, the day we met, I went astray
I started rollin' down that lost highway

[Verse 3]
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two
Neither good nor bad, and just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
While I take the cost on the lost highway

[Verse 4]
Now, kids, don't start some ramblin' around
On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

[Outro]
I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost
When I walk by, all the people say
"Just another guy on the lost highway"
