Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan

About Like a Rolling Stone

In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine declared "Like a Rolling Stone" the greatest song of all time. Spearheading Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited (1965), Like A Rolling Stone tells a surrealistic fairytale of a girl falling from high society. Notable not only because of the new rock sound, but also because of its length (clocking in at just over 6 minutes, it was an extremely long track for the time), it became Dylan's biggest hit up till then, reaching #2 in the UK Pop Singles Charts. .

Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics

[00:10.48] Once upon a time you dressed so fine
[00:13.07] Threw the bums a dime in your prime
[00:16.74] Didn't you?
[00:20.56] People call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
[00:23.95] You thought they were all
[00:26.64] Kidding' you?
[00:31.00] You used to laugh about
[00:36.16] Everybody that was hangin' out
[00:40.91] Now you don't talk so loud
[00:45.77] Now you don't seem so proud
[00:50.23] About having to be scrounging
[00:53.98] Your next meal
[00:58.81] How does it feel?
[01:03.74] How does it feel?
[01:08.73] To be without a home?
[01:13.51] Like a complete unknown?
[01:18.47] Like a rolling stone?
[01:23.16]
[01:31.86] Ah, you've gone to the finest school
[01:34.95] All right, Miss Lonely
[01:36.61] But you know you only used to get
[01:39.37] Juiced in it
[01:42.72] Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
[01:46.39] And now you're gonna have to get
[01:49.43] Used to it
[01:54.82] You say you never compromise
[01:58.47] With the mystery tramp but now you realise
[02:03.69] He's not selling any alibis
[02:08.30] As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
[02:13.01] And say
[02:14.52] "Do you want to make a deal?"
[02:22.12] How does it feel?
[02:27.20] How does it feel?
[02:31.79] To be on your own?
[02:36.66] With no direction home?
[02:41.76] A complete unknown?
[02:46.74] Like a rolling stone?
[02:51.35]
[03:00.11] Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns
[03:04.07] On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did
[03:07.41] Tricks for you
[03:11.42] Never understood that it ain't no good
[03:13.74] You shouldn't let other people
[03:15.94] Get your kicks for you
[03:21.81] You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
[03:26.75] Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
[03:32.08] Ain't it hard when you discover that?
[03:36.73] He really wasn't where it's at
[03:41.76] After he took from you everything he could steal?
[03:50.45] How does it feel?
[03:55.49] How does it feel?
[04:00.02] To have on your own?
[04:04.86] With no direction home?
[04:09.87] Like a complete unknown?
[04:14.95] Like a rolling stone?
[04:19.39]
[04:28.06] Ah, princess on the steeple and all the
[04:31.90] Pretty people they're all drinkin', thinkin' that they
[04:35.67] Got it made
[04:39.53] Exchanging all precious gifts
[04:42.00] But you'd better take your diamond ring
[04:44.87] You'd better pawn it, babe
[04:49.85] You used to be so amused
[04:54.82] At Napoleon in rags
[04:57.30] And the language that he used
[05:00.05] Go to him now, he calls you
[05:02.01] You can't refuse
[05:04.58] When you ain't got nothin'
[05:06.41] You got nothin' to lose
[05:10.06] You're invisible now, you got no secrets
[05:13.58] To conceal
[05:18.49] How does it feel?
[05:22.97] Ah, how does it feel?
[05:27.80] To be on your own?
[05:32.73] With no direction home?
[05:37.91] Like a complete unknown?
[05:42.91] Like a rolling stone?
[05:45.46]
