[00:13.74]I met him in a dive down in New Orleans
[00:17.28]I recognized his handsome face
[00:17.85]It was none of my business, but I had to know
[00:21.44]What he was doing in this kind of place
[00:23.79]’Cause he used to have money, he used to have honeys
[00:26.49]He used to be society’s prince
[00:28.35]But he still wore a grin when I sat beside him
[00:31.44]And asked, “Where all that money went?”
[00:39.81]He said, “Some was spent on gambling, a lot was spent on women
[00:44.23]A little on some good Cabernet
[00:47.16]Three or four divorces, at least that many horses
[00:51.75]That never left the starting gate”
[00:55.05]”Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey
[00:58.40]That week I spent a year in L.A.
[01:02.86]You know I hate to admit it
[01:07.81]But I threw the rest away”
[01:12.69]He said, “Money don’t mean nothing in this game of life
[01:20.97]It’s just a way of keeping score
[01:24.18]Show me a man whose got everything
[01:28.57]I’ll show you one who wants even more”
[01:32.62]”Well so smoke em’ when you got em’
[01:35.22]When you hit bottom, you gotta have a reason to smile
[01:39.17]You can have a little piece of the rock
[01:44.66]I’ll take a little piece of mind”
[01:47.94]He said, “Some was spent on gambling, a lot was spent on women
[01:52.36]A little on some good Cabernet
[01:56.11]Three or four divorces, at least that many horses
[02:00.46]That never left the starting gate”
[02:04.08]”Diamond rings and furs, swampland in New Jersey
[02:07.56]That week I spent a year in L.A.
[02:13.25]You know I hate to admit it
[02:16.53]But I threw the rest away”
[02:22.24]”Diamond rings and furs, swampland in New Jersey
[02:40.10]That week I spent a year in L.A.
[02:45.08]You know I hate to admit it
[02:49.84]I threw the rest away, I threw the rest away”
