Johnny Winter - Like A Rolling Stone lyrics

Once upon a time, you dressed so fine
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 on your own with no direction home?
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest school all right
Miss Lonely don't you know you only used
To get juiced in it?
Nobody has ever taught you how
To live on the street
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 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 came down and
Did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You should never 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
Drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts and things
But take your diamond ring down and 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
And you can't refuse
When you ain't 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 without a home, with no direction home?
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
