Merle Haggard - I Threw Away The Rose

I Threw Away The Rose

(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 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...

Mirror lyrics:

Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose...
Now all my social friends look down their noses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

While I watched the bottle slowly take command.
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

--- Instrumental ---

'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose.
Now all my social friends look down their noses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

I thought my social friends would help me make me turn.
Success for me lay just around the corner
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Once I lived a life of wine and roses

(Merle Haggard)
