Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time, you dressed so fine

Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?

People'd call, say, "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall"

You thought they were all kiddin' you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hangin' out

Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel?

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

Oh, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They are drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made

Exchanging all precious gifts

But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it, babe

You used to be so amused

At Napoleon in rags, and the language that he used

Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse

When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose

You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel?

Ah, how does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?
