Like a Rolling Stone Songtext
von Johnny Winter

Well, once upon a time you dressed so fine
You could bum a dime in your prime, didn′t you?
Well, folks would call, say "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
But you thought they were all kiddin′ you, didn't you?

You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don′t talk so loud
Now you don′t act so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Well, you went to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody ever taught you how to live out on the street
But now you're gonna have to get used to it, yes you are


You say you never compromise
With the Mr. 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?"

Tell me how does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone?

Yeah
Like a rolling stone

Well, the prince is on the steeple and all the pretty people
They keep on drinkin', thinkin′ that they got it made
They're exchanging all precious gifts
Well you better take yourself a diamond
Ring and you better pawn it babe

You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
But go to him tonight ′cause you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible baby, you got no secrets to conceal


How does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel, yeah
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Just like a rolling stone?

Yeah, like a rolling stone
Oh, like a rolling stone
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Yeah
Like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone
