Testo Like a rolling stone Drive-By Truckers

Like a rolling stone

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 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 your next meal
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
You´ve gone to the finest school all right Miss LonelyBut you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody´s ever taught you how to live on the StreetAnd now 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 without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned ´roundTo 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 forYou
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your DiplomatWho carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain´t it hard when you discovered 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 without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Are 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 loose
You´re invisible now, you got no secrets to ConcealHow does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
