He used to be a suit and tie business man
When the monthly payments came, he just packed his bags and ran
Never listened to reason and the bills were so unpaid
And now he's holding a cardboard sign that says: I'm not the one to blame

He used to be a wealthy man, a healthy man
Try to bum a dollar to avoid the garbage can
He can't believe that it turned out this way
He can hear the people say: Old what's his name

He paid for alcohol when it was time to pay the rent
All his money came easy, now a dime is heaven sent
He paid the dealer when it was time to pay his dues
Now his life is a bottle, a bag and a ripped up pair of shoes

He used to be a wealthy man, a healthy man
Try to bum a dollar to avoid the garbage can
He can't believe that it turned out this way
He can hear the people say

He can't believe that it turned out this way
He can hear the people say

Old what's his name
