I Threw The Rest Away [F] - Tracy Lawrence [Intro] [F] [Verse 1] I [F] met him in a dive down in New Orleans, I [F] recognized his handsome face, It was [F] none of my business but I had to know, What he was [F] doing in this kind of place, Cause he [Bb] used to have money used to have honeys, He [Bb] used to be society's prince, But he [F] still wore a grin when I sat beside him, And [C] ask where all that money [F] went, |[Chorus] |[Bb] He said [C] some was spent on gambling, |a lot was spent on women, a [F] little on some good Cabernet, |[Bb] [C] Three or four divorces, at least as many horses, |that [F] never left the startin' gates, |[Am] Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey, |That [Dm] week I spent a [C] year in L.[Bb]A. |You know, I [G] hate to admit it, |[C] [NC] I threw the rest [F] away.
