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?
