when i had it all
i had nothin' at all to lose
broken were the soles of my shoes
and all my time was spent with you
when i had it all
i was always playing the fool
laughing for hours drinking whiskey
and sneaking in to public pools
where did it go?
when paying the rent was a miracle
we didn't know how good we had it then
when i had it all
i gave everything away
money didn't mean a damn thing to me
and i always had a place that i could stay
and we had it all
with a small room to ourselves
you were writing lyrics on the wall
while i read all the books upon your shelves
where did it go?
when paying the rent was a miracle
we didn't know how good we had it then
and you used to play my favorite song
loud on the old car stereo
playing the very same song that you recorded all night long
all alone, in the studio singing
"i used to have, i used to have it all"
