Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hangin' out

Now you don't seem so proud
Dm D# F
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

Like a rolling stone

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people they're drinkin',
F
Thinkin' that they got it made (that they got it made)

you'd better, oh you’d better pawn it babe
