Like a Rolling Stone (Live at Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, CA - February 11, 1974 (Afternoon) [Incomplete]) Bob Dylan & The Band
[Verse 1]
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 a-hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging around to make a-your next a-meal
[Chorus]
How does it feel?
How does it feel
To be without a home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown?
Just like a rolling stone
[Verse 2]
Aw, you're going to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But ya know ya only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught ya how to live out on the street
And you find out now you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now ya realize
He's not selling any alibis
As ya stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say, “Would you like to make a deal?"
