About the Song
The track was made famous of two lines which are still heard almost everywhere. The Lost Highway and The Rolling Stone was part of the lyrics made by Leon. Lost highway represents a wandering spirit looking for his place but ends up in a dark place. This was often experienced by musicians who pursue their dreams but ends up being swallowed by the pressure and bad side of fame.

As for the Rolling Stone line, a lot of people claimed that it became a known term because of Hank Williams’ performance. Though half the credit goes to Leon, the origin of the term dates back in biblical times. No matter what the case may be, we are just glad that we get to hear Hank sing the song.
