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 Kidding you 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 Your next meal 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've gone to the finest schools Alright Miss Lonely, but you know you only used to get Juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the streets And now you're gonna have to get used to it You said you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realise 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 With no direction home Like a complete unknown Just like a rolling stone You've never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did Tricks for you You've never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a side-knees cat Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at That 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 Just like a rolling stone Oh, the princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made Shaking all precious gifts You better take your diamond ring You better pawn it, babe You used to be so amused At Napoleon and Reich's And the language that he used Calling out, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home How does it feel? Like a complete unknown How does it feel? Just like a rolling stone Just like a rolling stone Just like a rolling stone
