Van Zandt, Townes - Lost Highway Lyrics
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
Just another guy on the lost highway
And a womans lies makes a life like mine
Oh the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly 22
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord I take a cost, oh the lost highway
Now boys don't start to ramblin' round
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway

Van Zandt, Townes Lost Highway Comments
I wish I could whoop the 2 ass holes that voted thumbs down.
This guy was good with words but couldn't sing for shit. It reminds me of listening to an old hound dog howling around.
Full of s..t doesn't begin to describe you or your musical sensibilities
Lone Wilf79 he had a very good voice but alcohol and drugs etc took effect on his voice and withered it down but still a great dude
A legend and one of his best performances. Listen firtst to Hank Williams original, very nice also Marty Robbins, but Townes gives me goosbumps. Unforgettable...
Don't get me wrong I love Townes especially as a fellow Dutchman but this just ain't his type of song
He is the only one that comes close to Hanks version
this song could be a townes autobiography.
best version of this song-ever.
andreas deutinger I like Hank Williams version best. Check it out!(:
+david entendu thanks. i know hank williamses original version, but i think van zandt really made it shine with his voice and the guitarwork. it is sad and totally in sync with the vibe of the lyrics.
Leon Payne did the original and wrote it.
Leon payne was the original everyone also needs to check Tom Petty version of this song
Definitive version. I know of no greater blues song. Thanks Townes, you mirror my soul and lift me. You lift me.
Fantastic. Just discovering Townes now ... Youtube is so awesome.
Love to read that!
Sweet Jesus I didn't know this existed. Thank you.
Thanks...Helluva tune
What album can I find this killer tune?!?!?! I've been looking for this version for 2 months HELP
Nice version of a traditional song. This son g will always be pertinant.
written by one of Hank's favorites, Leon Payne.
Love this song. Love Townes. Didn't know this cover existed! THANK YOU
@bluemonday09 I'm finding that the best songwriters are dead. It's tragic, but their music is immortal. :)
musicchick85 most all of them not everyone for sure...but it is true to an extent
I never knew TVZ did a cover of this. He never ceases to amaze. Its tragic that he never made it into the spotlight.
i want this on my itunes
lonestar1123 by Android and just download it
I doubt that 6 years later it's available on itunes
I want this on my tombstone.
