Like A Rolling Stone - Master Take, Guitar Songtext / Lyric

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 havin' to be scrounging around for your next meal



How does it feel, how does it feel?

To be without a 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

And nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street

And now you find out 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, " 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

Like a rolling stone?



You never turned around to see the frowns

On the jugglers and the clowns

When they all come down and do tricks for you

You never understood that it ain't no good

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for 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 took from you everything he could steal



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?



Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They're all 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, 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?
