Intro

        

Verse

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 a 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 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   

Instrumental

   

Verse

Aww, You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now 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 say do you want to make a deal?

Chorus

How does it feel   
How does it feel   
To be on your own   
With no direction home   
A complete unknown   
Like a rolling stone   

Instrumental

   

Verse

Aww, 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

Chorus

How does it feel   
How does it feel   
To have you on your own   
With no direction home   
Like a complete unknown  
Like a rolling stone   

Instrumental

   

Verse

Aww, Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts 
But you'd better take your 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're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

Chorus

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   

Instrumental
