Back in his day he was a king he was the man
Everyone looked up at him they knew he had a plan
With the world at his feet, the horizon in his sight
He could do it all, he had the will, he had the might
No mountain was too high and no valley was too low
But life had to show him there's a limit to the load
Now he works entertaining kids at parties as a clown
The man who had it all has fallen lost and his crown
It is too easy to lose the grip on it all
And find yourself at the bottom of a bottle
And now he sits alone at the bar
Sitting in a corner drinking in the dark
It falls sleeping on a bench in the park
The man who had it all isn't known any more
He is just another joe with nothing to show for
How he lost it all i'm really not sure
Every now and then he thinks about his glory days
Doesn't understand that it all went in a blaze
Doesn't recognise who's in the mirror nowadays
It's all to far from what it displays
Please do remember he was the king he was the man
But you gotta live with the world and it's demands
You can't just keep taking and rolling it all way
For what it's worth try to learn from his mistakes
It is too easy to lose the grip on it all
And find yourself at the bottom of a bottle
And now he sits alone at the bar
Sitting in a corner drinking in the dark
It falls sleeping on a bench in the park
The man who had it all isn't known any more
He is just another joe with nothing to show for
How he lost it all i'm really not sure
And now he sits alone at the bar
Sitting in a corner drinking in the dark
It falls sleeping on a bench in the park
The man who had it all isn't known any more
He is just another joe with nothing to show for
How he lost it all i'm really not sure
