[Verse 1]
 
Cmaj                              Fmaj
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost,
 
              Gmaj                A7
For a life of sin I have paid the cost,
 
   Fmaj                     Gmaj
As I walk by all the people say,
 
             A7              Fmaj    Cmaj
Just another guy on the lost highway,
 
[Verse 2]
 
Cmaj                              Fmaj
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
 
              Gmaj                   A7
And a woman's life makes a life like mine,
 
   Fmaj                    Gmaj
On the day we met, I went astray,
 
          A7                   Fmaj    Cmaj
I started going down that lost highway,

[Verse 3]
 
Cmaj                          Fmaj
I was just a lad, only twenty two,
 
                 Gmaj                 A7
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
 
   Fmaj                             Gmaj
On the day we met, it's too late to pray,
 
          A7                   Fmaj    Cmaj
I started going down that lost highway,
 
[Verse 4]
 
Cmaj                             Fmaj
Now boys don't start to ramblin' round,
 
                Gmaj                 A7
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,
 
     Fmaj                          Gmaj
Take my advice or you'll curse the day,
 
            A7                     Fmaj    Cmaj
You started rollin' down that lost highway,
 
            A7                   Fmaj    Cmaj
You started goin' down that lost highway,
 
      A7             Fmaj    Cmaj
Goin' down that lost highway,
 
      A7             Fmaj    Cmaj
Goin' down that lost highway,
