Lyrics
I have pawned my golden records,
I have sold my sequin suits.
For a bottle of rye whiskey
I gave up my fancy boots.
Now I stand here on the corner
With a sad, sad tale to tell,
Once a rock star now a drunkard
With no song left to sell.

I’ve a face you might remember,
I’ve a voice you may recall;
‘Twas that cold night in December
When we played Carnegie Hall.
Now the smoke and marijuana,
Singing flat but doing well;
Till I took my first drink of whiskey
And started down the road to hell.

I have pawned my golden records,
I have sold my sequin suits.
For a bottle of rye whiskey
I gave up my fancy boots.
Now I stand here on the corner
With a sad, sad tale to tell,
Once a dope fiend now a drunkard
With no song left to sell.

Once a rock star now a drunkard
With no song left to sell,
With no song left to sell.
