Lost Highway

(album: Gary - 1979)

I'm a rolling 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 lies make a life like mine
On the day we met I went astray
I'm 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've paid the cost on the 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'll curse the day
You started rolling down that lost highway
You started rolling down that lost highway
