Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You threw the bums a dime in your prime

Didn't you

People called say beware doll

You're bound to fall

You thought they were all

Kidding you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hanging it 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

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone



You've gone to the finest school

Allright miss lonely

But you know you only used to get

Juiced in it

Nobody's ever taught you

How to live in the street

And now you're gonna have to get

Used to it

You say you 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 want to do

Make a deal



How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your homeWith no direction home

A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone



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 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 hang on your home

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone



Princess on the steeple

And all the pretty people

They're drinking thinking

That they got it made

Exchanging all precious gifts

But you'd better

Take a diamond ring

You'd 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 are invisible nowYou got no secrets to conceal



How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your home

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone
