I Threw Away The Rose
Lyricist:Merle Haggard
Once I lived a life of wine and roses And I drank a lot back then for one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn I made was not the one I'd planned I watched my social standings slip away from me While I watched the bottle slowly take command
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose Yes I kept the wine and threw away the rose
