Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime,
Didn't you?

Yeah, people'd call, say "Beware doll, you're
bound to fall"
You thought they were just kiddin' you

You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
And now you don't walk so proud

Now you don't talk so loud
About having to be scrounging 
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 schools all right,

Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get - 
Juiced in it

Nobody taught you how to
Live out on the street
But now you are gonna have to get -

Used to it
You said you'd 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 make a deal?" 


How does it feel
How does it feel

To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown

Just like a rolling stone? 

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? 


Yeah, the princess on the steeple 
All the pretty people
Drinkin', thinkin' that they 

Got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts 
But you'd better take that diamond ring,

You'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Now 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
A complete unknown

Just like a rolling stone? 

(spoken)Thank you, Bob!
