Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn’t you?    People called said “beware doll; you’re bound to fall”    You thought they were all a-kiddin’ you    You use 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 without a home    Like a complete unknown    Like a rolling stone       Oh you’ve gone through the finest school all right miss lonely    But you know you only use to get juiced in it    Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street    And now you’re gonna have to get used to it    You say you never compromise with a 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 want to make a deal?       How does it feel?    How does it feel?    To be on your own    Without a direction home    A complete unknown    Like a rolling stone       Oh you’ve never turned around to see the frowns on the    Jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you    Never understand that it ain’t no good    You shouldn’t let other people get your kicks for you    You use 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 took from you everything he could steal       How does it feel?    How does it feel?    Ham on your own    With no direction home    Like a complete unknown    Like a rolling stone    Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people they all    Drinkin,’thinkin’ that they got it made    Exchanging all precious gifts    But you better take a diamond ring    You better pawn it babe    You use to be so amused    And Napoleon in rags and the language that he used    Go to him now he calls ya, ya can’t refuse    When ya ain’t got nothing, ya got nothing to lose    You’re invisible now you’ve got no secrets to conceal       How does it feel?    Oh how does it feel?    To be on your own    With no direction home    Like a complete unknown    Like a rolling stone
