Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you
People call say beware doll, you're bound to fall
You thought they were just'a
Kidding' you
You used to
Laugh about
Everybody that was
Hangin' out
Now you don't
Walk so proud
Now you don't
Talk so loud
About having to be scrounging
For your next meal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone
You went to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely but you know you only used to get
Juiced in it
Nobody has ever thought how to live on the street
And now you're gonna have to get
Used to it
You say you never, compromise
With the mystery tramp but now you, realize
That he's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to
To make a deal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got
Got it made
Exchanging all kind of precious gifts and things
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 nothin', you got nothin' 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
A complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone
