From The Rolls To The Rails

Once he lived like a king and he had everything
All the world they say lay at his feet
Yet with all his wealth and fame he played that cheating game
And he wound up like a tramp on the street

He went from a Rolls to the rails
From a mansion to dirty jail
From a penthouse to the jungle by the tracks
From champagne to cheap wine
Right down to his last dime
Now all he owns is the clothes on his back

He drove a big fancy car and he smoked big cigars
Had everything that a man could own
But wild women and song, soon his money was all gone
And now he rides in a boxcar alone

He went from a Rolls to the rails
From a mansion to dirty jail
From a penthouse to the jungle by the tracks
From champagne to cheap wine
Right down to his last dime
Now all he owns is the clothes on his back

He went from a Rolls to the rails...
