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
