"Like A Rollin' Stone" lyrics
(originally by Bob Dylan)
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? (Didn't you?)
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kidding 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? Tell me)
How does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
To be on your own (How does it feel? Tell me)
With no direction home (How does it feel?)
Like a complete unknown?
Just like a rolling stone
(Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only get juiced in it
And nobody ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you're gonna have to get, 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 you ask him, "Do you want to, oh, do you wanna make a deal?"
Oh, how does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
Tell me, how does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
To be on your own (How does it feel? Tell me)
With no direction home (How does it feel?)
Just like a complete unknown?
You're just a rolling stone
(Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all came down and did their tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
That 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
Oh, ain't it hard when you discover that
He wasn't really where it's all at
After he took from you everything he could steal?
Oh, tell me, how does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
Baby, how does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
To be on your own (How does it feel? Tell me)
With no direction home (How does it feel?)
Complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
(Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)
Princess on the street and all the people drinking
Thinking they all, yeah, they all got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things, you'd better lift your diamond ring, baby
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
Baby, you got no secrets to conceal
Oh, tell me, how does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
Oh, how does it feel, baby (How does it feel? Tell me)
To be on your own (How does it feel? Tell me)
With no direction home (How does it feel?)
Like a complete unknown?
Oh, you're just a rolling stone
(Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? (Didn't you?)
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kidding 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? Tell me)
How does it feel (How does it feel? Tell me)
To be on your own (How does it feel? Tell me)
With no direction home (How does it feel?)
Like a complete unknown?
Just like a rolling stone
(Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only get juiced in it
And nobody ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you're gonna have to get, get used to it

Just like a complete unknown?
You're just a rolling stone
(Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)

Like a rolling stone, like a rolling stone)
