I Threw The Rest Away

Tracy Lawrence

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, alot 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
