Lost Highway – Hank Williams acoustic guitar & vocal cover solo by Jack Straw

A Leon Payne (The Blind Balladeer) song recorded in 1948 that Hanks William's 1949 cover made a country standard. Minor differences between the lyrics of the two versions, I use Hank's as. they are the more familiar ones.

The list of people who haven’t covered it is a lot shorter than the one of those who have.

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

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 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 rambling round
On this road of sin or your sorrow-bound
Take my advice or you'll rue the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
