Tracy Lawrence - I Threw The Rest Away lyrics
Your rating:
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 on women A little on some good Cabernet Three or four divorces at least as many horses That never left the starting gates Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey That week I spent a year in L.A. You know, I hate to admit 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 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 Hey, 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 on women A little on some good Cabernet Three or four divorces at least as many horses That never left the starting gates Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey That week I spent a year in L.A. You know, I hate to admit I threw the rest away Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey That week I spent a year in L.A. You know, I hate to admit I threw the rest away I threw the rest away
