Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway
"There goes another boy walkin' down the lost highway"
I got me rollin' down that ol' lost highway
On this road of sin, you're sorrow bound
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
Oh, the day we met, Lord I went astray
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
Now I'm lost, too late to pray
Neither good or bad, just a kid like you
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two
Hey boys, don't start, let's keep it ramblin' 'round
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
You started rollin' down that ol' lost highway
Oh, when I pass, all the people say
