Hank Williams Jr. - Lost Highway Lyrics






I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost,
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost.
When I pass by, all the people say
"Just another guy on the lost highway."

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies make a life like mine.
Oh, the day we met, I went astray,
I started rollin' down that lost highway.

I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two,
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
And now I'm lost, too late to pray,
Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway.

Now, boys, don't start your ramblin' round,
On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound.
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

  4. T.... C....

    Story of my life.._..Factz..._

  5. J.... M....

  6. T.... Y....

  7. C.... N....

    Just a deck of cards

  8. T.... ....

    2015 fresh out of high school a buddy & I followed the black gold all across Texas from South to West then all the way East then up to Oklahoma then to Louisiana. I’ve been back in south south Texas for 6 months and on my journey down this song shuffled onto my radio and it was just a perfect song to hear heading back home.

  9. D.... M....

    Who the fuck would.give this a thumbs down.

  10. t.... ....

    Hank, yes you are paying for your sins as you should! do you want us to feel sorry for you? are you feeling sorry for yourself? are you glorifying sin? get behind me satan! a deck of cards? you think thats cool? gambling instead of working hard for your wages? you want me to feel sorry for you? sinnner? a jug of wine? you want me to applaud you for gambling and being a drunk? sorry cant! the bible condemns that...dont lead people astray by pretending that sin is where its at! its not! sin leads to hell and temporary pleasure is not worth eternal punishment as described by the LORD jesus christ...turn from a womens lies....thou shalt not bear false witness the command of God says...if you went astray, Repent! turn stop going to the highway that leads to hell and making something ugly romantic, the devil is a liar and ugly nothing pretty or romantic about the highway to hell boo hoo you were only 22 by that age you should know better! if you dont know by then you maybe never will!thats a lie, its never too late to pray....dont glorify the lost highway devil! read the bible go to church your fancy boots and suit mean nothing from the perspective of the grave. yes your road of sin you are sorrow bound, devil stop glorifying ungodlessness by the medium of music...yes be GODLY! read the bible dont listen to hank give financially to the church. ok hank well take your advice and stop rolling down the lost highway! we want to go to heaven not hell for which there is no escape and of which there is not glamour or applaud of men. go to church and stop listening to this song. stop drinking, stay away from godless women and go down the straight and narrow as christ encouraged. there is hope in the saviour christ almighty...

  11. t.... ....

    be careful....just because something is pleasurable it does not mean its GOOD. this song is the begining of the devils mass production campaign against holiness and jesus christ....the devil destroyed hank with drink. nows hes cold and disentegrating in the grave. anything pretty about that? is hank in heaven? did he love jesus christ? the devil and this song wants to glorify sin and the way which leads to destruction and hell.sin is not fun. drink is not fun. immoral sex is not glamourous. find a wife. turn from alcohol. read the bible go to church and support the local church financially every sundy til the lord comes....bottom line...go beyond this song....dont glorify sin love the bible jesus and dont follow hanks example...hard words but true...enter the narrow gate not the broad one...if you are able..!

    t.... ....

    OK fruitcake. This song has much more appeal and wisdom than this rant I wasted my time reading.

    t.... ....

    @CM H Thats my point. of course it has appeal thats what i already said, but appeal to what? please tell me? wisdom? what wisdom did you get from the song? please tell me? if you call what i said "rant" sad to say but there might be a good chance your on the "lost highway"....and its not glamorous or funny. Its scary. Dont be deceived into thinking your on the lost highway and all is well. Its not. The prognosis is bad. Dont replace a culture of the love of God and church with pop music that glorifies being "lost" as though being lost is something that is Good. Its not good its tragic.

  12. E.... ....

    Love listen to him.🤔😥

  13. A.... M....

    just looked at the date this AWESOME song was posted and it is the as the Miracle on the Hudson River.

  14. H.... S....

    I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and lost,
    For a life of sin I have paid the cost.
    When I pass by, all the people say:
    There goes another boy down the lost highway!

    Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
    And a woman's lies makes a life like mine.
    For the day we met, I went astray.
    I started rollin' down that lost highway.

    I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two,
    Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you.
    And now I'm lost, too late pray.
    Lord, I've paid the cost on the lost highway.

    Now boys, don't start your ramblin' around
    On this road of sin or you're sorrow-bound.
    Take my advice or you'll curse the day
    You started rollin' down that lost highway.
