lyrics

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you? 

Peopled call, say, beware doll, youre bound to fall

You thought they were all kiddin you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hangin out

Now you dont talk so loud

Now you dont seem so proud

About having to be scrounging 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? 

Youve gone to the finest school all right, miss lonely

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street

And now you find out youre gonna have to get used to it

You said youd never compromise

With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

Hes not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And ask him do you want to make a deal? 

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? 

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns

When they all come down and did tricks for you

You never understood that it aint no good

You shouldnt 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

Aint it hard when you discover that

He really wasnt where its at

After he took from you everything he could steal.

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? 

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

Theyre drinkin, thinkin that they got it made

Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things

But youd better lift your diamond ring, youd 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 cant refuse

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose

Youre 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?
