โหลดเพลง mp3 I Threw Away The Rose (2005 Digital Remaster) - Merle Haggard

Once I lived the 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

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
And 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

Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
