I met him in a dive down in New Orleans

I recognized his handsome face

It was none of my business

But I had to know

What he was doing in this kind of place

Cause he used to have money

He used to have honeys

He used to be society's prince

But he still wore a grin

when I sat beside him

And asked Where all that money went

He said Some was spent on gambling

A lot was spent on women

A little on some good Cabernet

Three or four divorces

At least that many horses

That never left the starting gate

Diamond rings and furs

Swamp land in New Jersey

That week I spent a year in L A

You know I hate to admit it

But I threw the rest away

He said

Money don't mean nothing

in this game of life

It's just a way of keeping score

Show me a man whose got everything

I'll show you one who wants even more

Well so smoke em' when you got em'

When you hit bottom

You gotta have a reason to smile

You can have a little piece of the rock

I'll take a little piece of mind

He said Some was spent on gambling

A lot was spent on women

A little on some good Cabernet

Three or four divorces at least many horses

That never left the starting gate

Diamond rings and furs

Swampland in New Jersey

That week I spent a year in L A

You know I hate to admit it

But I threw the rest away

Diamond rings and furs

Swampland in New Jersey

That week I spent a year in L A

You know I hate to admit it

I threw the rest away

I threw the rest away
