Wasted

I said, "Man, what are you doing 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 living, wild women
That roulette wheel that I kept it spinning
Beachside bars, big shiny cars
Long vacations in warm locations
I was going 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 it spinning
Beachside bars, big shiny cars
Long vacations in warm locations
I was going 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 living, big tipping
Limo rides and champagne sippin'
First class tickets to who knows where
It really didn't matter 'til we got there
I was going 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 loving and living
Loved every minute
The rest, I wasted
The rest, I wasted"
