Lost Highway Lyrics
Jeff Buckley
(h.williams)
Originally performed by hank williams
Im a rollin stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I walk by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a womans lies makes a life like mine
All the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down this lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now Im lost, too late to pray
Lord I paid a cost, on the lost highway
Now boys dont start to ramblin round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or youll curse the day
You started rollin down that lost highway
Lost highway
