Verse 1

C                       F         C
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost
                                  G7
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
            F                   C
When I pass by   all the people say
                    G7       C
Just another guy on the lost highway

Verse 2

                     F            C
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
                                     G7
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
              F          C
Oh the day we met I went astray
                       G7        C
I started rolling down that lost highway

Verse 3

                 F      C
I was just a lad nearly 22
                                     G7
Neither good nor bad just a kid like you
            F                C
And now I'm lost too late to pray
                        G7       C
Lord I paid the cost on the lost highway

Verse 4

                         F        C
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
                                   G7
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
        F                          C
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
                    G7             C
You started rollin' down that lost highway
