Wasted
I said, "Man, what are you doin' here?
I saw the band just bought you a beer
I used to see your face all over
TV shows and magazine covers"
He said, "I went through a fortune just like that
Down to the shirt that I got on my back"
I said "How?" He said, "Pretty damn fast
But hey man, since you asked
I spent it on high livin', wild women
That roulette wheel that I kept spinnin'
Beach side bars, big shiny cars
Long vacations in warm locations
I was goin' nonstop 'til I squeezed every drop
Of that good time, top shelf sweet life that I tasted
And to tell you the truth, the rest, I just wasted"
He kinda laughed underneath those shades
He said, "Yeah son, I had it made
I had a big boat, it made me smile
It burned money, gallons to miles
I really don't worry 'bout where it went
'Cause it's still fun thinking 'bout when
I spent it on high living, wild women
That roulette wheel that I kept spinnin'
Beach side bars, big shiny cars
Long vacations in warm locations
I was goin' nonstop 'til I squeezed every drop
Of that good time top shelf, sweet life that I tasted
And to tell you the truth, the rest, I just wasted"
"Yeah, I could have put it in the bank somewhere and saved it
No son, you ain't never gonna hear me complaining
I spent it on high livin', big tippin'
Limo rides and champagne sippin'
First class tickets to who-knows-where?
It really didn't matter 'til we got there
I was goin' nonstop 'til I squeezed every drop
Of that good time, top shelf sweet life that I tasted
And to tell you the truth the rest, I just wasted"
"I spent it on lovin' and livin'
Loved every minute
The rest, I wasted
The rest, I wasted"
