The Lost Highway
(Leon Payne)
I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and
lost
For a life of sin I've paid the cost
When I pass by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of
wine
and a woman's love make a life like
mine
On the day we met I went astray
and started rollin' down that 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 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
You started rollin' down that lost
highway
