Candlelight dinners for losers and winners and long flowing gowns at the ball
        G                                                                                                                           C
The givers and takers and the firm hand shakers and pictures that hang on the wall

Champaign stained carpet, he couldn't help it, his drink, he just couldn't hold

The party's in his honor, but now he's a goner, his latest single went gold

He's getting old and feeling tired and his days among are few

But he captured a moment in time and he gave it to you

So don't criticize him, 'cause of some of the bad things he's done

It's a sad little song about right and wrong and how he felt on the way to the top

Now he's always seen with a fifth of Jim Beam, and he's got his cigarettes too

But he captured a moment in time and he gave it to you

So don't criticize him, 'cause of some of the bad things he's done
