Once upon a time you dressed so fine
(dylan)
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
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You used to laugh about
You threw the bums a dime in your prime,
Everybody that was hangin' out
Didn't you?
Now you don't talk so loud
People'd call, say "beware doll, you're
Now you don't seem so proud
Bound to fall"
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
You thought they were all kiddin' you

You used to laugh about
How does it feel
Everybody that was hangin' out
How does it feel
Now you don't talk so loud
To be without a home
Now you don't seem so proud
Like a complete unknown
About having to be scrounging for your
Like a rolling stone?
Next meal


You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
How does it feel
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
How does it feel
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
To be without a home
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
Like a complete unknown
You said you'd never compromise
Like a rolling stone?
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

He's not selling any alibis
You've gone to the finest school all right,
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
Miss lonely
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
But you know you only used to get juiced

In it
How does it feel
And nobody has ever taught you how to
How does it feel
Live on the street
To be on your own
And now you find out you're gonna have
With no direction home
To get used to it
Like a complete unknown
You said you'd never compromise
Like a rolling stone
With the mystery tramp, but now you

Realize
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
He's not selling any alibis
When they all come down and did tricks for you
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
You never understood that it ain't no good
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
How does it feel
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
How does it feel
Ain't it hard when you discover that
To be on your own
He really wasn't where it's at
With no direction home
After he took from you everything he could steal
Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?
How does it feel

How does it feel
You never turned around to see the frowns
To be on your own
On the jugglers and the
With no direction home
Downs
Like a complete unknown
When they all come down and did tricks
Like a rolling stone?
For you

You never understood that it ain't no good
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
You shouldn't let other people get your
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Kicks for you
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
You used to ride on chrome horse with
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
Your diplomat
You used to be so amused
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Ain't it hard when you discover that
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
He really wasn't where it's at
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
After he took from you everything he could
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
Steal


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

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty
People
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it
Made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and
Things
But you'd better lift 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 got nothing, you got nothing to
Lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to
Conceal

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?
