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 [Chorus:] 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 who never left the starting gate Diamond rings and furs, swampland in New Jersey That week I spent a year in LA I hate to admit it, 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 (Chorus) He said to me Diamond rings and furs, swampland in New Jersey That week I spent a year in LA I hate to admit it, I threw the rest away
