i threw away the rose - merle haggard lyrics
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 me 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
i stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
the turn i made was not the one i’d planned
and i watched my social standings slip away from me
while i watched the bottle slowly take command
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
