Once upon a time, you dressed so fine
You threw the bum a dime in your prime
Didn't you?
People called "beware, doll! You're bound to fall"
You thought that they were all kidding you?
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you dont talk so loud
Now you dont seem so proud
And having to be scrounging for your next meal

Oh, How does it feel?
Oh, How does it feel?
To be on your own?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Oh you were going to finest school around
Miss Lonely but you know you only used to get Juiced in it!
Nobody ever taught you how to live on the street
Now you're gonna have to get used to it!
You thought you'd never compromise!
Let the mystery tramp but now you realize
It's not selling any alibis
You stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say "Do you want to make a deal?"

Oh, How does it feel?
Oh, How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Oh you never turned to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks or 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 a chrome horse with your diplomats!
Carried on your 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

Oh, How does it feel?
Oh, How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Oh Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinking and thinking that they got it made!
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
You better lift your diamond ring! you better pawn it, babe!
You used to be so amused at the Napoleon in rags and all 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 nwo you got no secrets to conceal!

Oh, How does it feel?
Oh, How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
