Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You 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.
Chorus
How does it feel, how does it feel
To be without a home, like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
verse 2
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 know 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?
Chorus 2
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
Bridge
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people they're drinkin',
Thinkin' that they got it made (that they got it made)
Exchanging all precious gifts but you'd better take your diamond ring,
you'd better, oh you?d better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused at Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Chorus 2 (X2)
