Tracy Lawrence - I Threw The Rest Away

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 use to have money
use to have honeys
he used to be society's prince

But he still wore a grin
when I sat beside him
and ask where all that money went

He said some was spent on gamblin'
a lot was spent women
A little on some good Cabernet

Three or four divorces
at least as many horses
that never left the startin' gates

Diamond rings and furs swamp land in New Jersey
that week I spent a year in LA
I hate to admit
I threw the rest away

He said money don't mean nothing is this game of life
it's just a way of keeping score
Show me a man who's got everything
I'll show you one who wants even more

Well so smoke 'em if you got 'em
cause 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 gamblin'
a lot was spent women
A little on some good Cabernet

Three or four divorces
at least as many horses
that never left the startin' gates

Diamond rings and furs swamp land in New Jersey
that week I spent a year in LA
I hate to admit
I threw the rest away

Diamond rings and furs swamp land in New Jersey
