I Threw Away The Rose |
| 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 |
| 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… |
| Yes I kept the wine and threw away the rose |
