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

For your next meal

How does it feel, How does it feel

To be without a home,

With no direction known,

Like a complete unknown,

Like a rolling stone?

You've 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

You're gonna have to get 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 ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel, How does it feel

To be without a home,

Like a complete unknown,

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 ain't no good

You shouldn't 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 took from you everything

He could steal

How does it feel, How does it feel

To be without a direction known,

Without a home

Like a complete unknown,

Like a rolling stone?
