Verse 1
D
C
G
D
A
You know, I don't know why,
D
but most people think of Hank Williams
G
when you mention David
D
G
Allen Coe's name,
D
and maybe it's because the
C
G
ride was such a hit for me.
D
But I was so disappointed
when they did a TV special
C
G
on Hank Williams this year
D
and they asked John Anderson
G
to sing the ride instead of me,
D
it broke my heart.
A
And I was telling Mo about
G
that at King Records,
A
D
A
D
they had just released my latest album,
G
Lonesome Fugitive.
D
And he said, well,
why don't we go in the studio
C
G
and cut a tribute album to Hank
D
and call it The Ghost of Hank Williams
G
after the song you wrote
at Hank's grave.
D
And I said, man, that'd be great.
C
G
D
And Mo said, well,
G
what's your favorite Hank Williams songs?
D
A
G
I picked up the guitar, started playing it, and I went,
D
C
G
D
C
G
I'm a rolling stone, all alone and lost,
D
C
G
D
A
A life of sin, I have paid the cost.
G
D
G
D
When I pass by, all the people say
C
G
D
C
G
Just another guy on the lost highway
D
C
D
Just a deck of cards
C
G
D
and a jug of wine
C
G
D
And a woman's lies
G
A
makes a life like mine
G
D
G
D
On the day we met, I went astray
G
D
C
G
I started down that lost highway
D

I was just a lad,
C
G
D
merely twenty -two
C
G
D
Neither good nor bad,
C
G
A
just a kid like you
G
D
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
C
G
D
Lord, I paid the cost on
C
G
D
the lost highway
Now boys, don't stop,
C
G
you're running around
D
G
D
On the road of sin,
C
G
A
or you're sorrow bound
G
D
C
G
Take my advice, you'll curse the day you
D
G
started traveling down that lost highway,
D
G
D
that lost highway,
G
D
lost highway,
C
G
that old lost highway.
