Lost Highway Songtext

von Townes van Zandt

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Lost Highway" von Townes van Zandt erzählt von einem Mann, der sich verloren und alleine fühlt. Er hat ein Leben voller...

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

Just a deck of cards, and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes 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? 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
