Lost Highway

(Leon Payne)


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
I'm just another guy
On the 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

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 rambling round
On this road of sin
Are you sorrow bound
Take my advice
Or you'll curse the day
You started rolling down
That lost highway
