Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you?
People call, say, beware doll, you're bound to fall
You thought they were all kidding you
[Verse 2]
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
[Verse 3]
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah, you've gone to the finest school all right, miss lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
[Verse 5]
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And saying, "Do you want to make a deal?"
[Verse 6]
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
[Verse 7]
Uh yeah
You never turned 'round to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did
Tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good, you shouldn't
Let other people get your kicks for you
[Verse 8]
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
Here really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
[Verse 9]
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
[Verse 10]
Uh, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinking, thinking that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
You'd better lift your diamond ring
You'd better pawn it, babe
[Verse 11]
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 got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
[Verse 12]
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
[Verse 13]
Like a rolling stone?
Like you're a rolling stone?
Like you're a rolling stone?
