I'm a rolling stone, [F] all alone [C] and lost.
For a life of sin, I've paid the [G]
cost.
Now when I pass [F]
by, all the people [C]
say,
Just another guy on [G] a lost [C]
highway.
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
And a woman's lies make a life like [G] mine.
Oh, the day we met, I went astray.
[C] Starlit rolling dam, that [C] lost highway.
Now
[G] [Em]
[C] boys, don't start your rambling around.
Down this road of sin, or your [G] sorrow bound.
Take my
[F] advice, or you'll curse [C] the day.
You started rolling dam, [G] that [C] lost highway.
I just a lad, [F] nearly twenty [C]-two.
Nearly good nor bad, just a kid [G]
like you.
But now I'm [F] lost, too late [C] to pray.
I done paid the cost, [G] on the lost [C]
highway.
Paid the cost, [G] on the lost [C] highway.
