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 around for your next meal

How does it feel How does it feel

To be without a home

Like a complete unknown like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest schools all right

Miss Lonely don't you know you only used to get juiced in it

Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street

Now you gonna have to get used to it used to it

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 say Do you wanna make a deal

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 you never turned around 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 should never let other people get your kicks for you

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 he really wasn't where it's at

After he take from you everything he could steal

How does it feel How does it feel

Yeah to be on your own with no direction home

Like a complete unknown just like a rolling stone

Oh princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They're all drinkin' thinkin' that they got got it made

Exchanging all precious gifts but you better take your diamond ring

You better 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 got no secrets to conceal

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

Just like a rolling stone like a rolling stone
