Like A Rolling Stone Lyrics - John Mellencamp

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 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?

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

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 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 ask him 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? 

Photos 

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 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 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 now, 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?
