Lyrics

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 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 around
 For your next meal
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel
 To be without a home
 With no direction home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
 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 on the street
 And you find out 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, "Would you like to make a deal?"
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel
 To be without a home
 With no direction home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
 You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
 When they all come down and 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's taken everything he could steal
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel
 To be without a home
 With no direction home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
 Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
 They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
 Exchanging all precious gifts and things
 But you'd better take your diamond ring, 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
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel
 To be without a home
 With no direction home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
