when I was just a young boy   I loved to play with my toys   and sit around and watch tv   sometimes we'd go to the beach    I loved to go to the beach   until an old man came to me   I said hey mister, why do you look so blue   he said it's nothing you just    look like someone I once new   I said oh really as I looked into his eyes    right then and there I knew this man would tell no lies   he said   I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories   if you would just listen to me   I've sailed across this ocean, given so much devotion   but just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see   we'd find a park with flowers   we'd sit and talk for hours   he taught me ancient history    he said    I used to be a great man   I traveled across this great land   until an old man came to me   and said   I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories   if you would just listen to me   I've been around the world    been with all kinds of girls   but just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see   but now I am much older    my life has grown much colder   I only care about one thing   how can I make more money   life's empty without money   and then a voice spoke out to me   and said   I am a man of glory, I've got a million stories   if you would just listen to me   I used to be a rich man    money can ruin a good man   just look what it has done to me   no I'm, I'm not the same as I used to be...
