《I Threw Away the Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away the Rose - Hag

[00:00:02] Written by：Merle Haggard

[00:00:18] Once I lived the life of wine and roses

[00:00:26] I drank a lot

[00:00:29] Back then for one concern

[00:00:34] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:43] I thought my social friends would help me

[00:00:47] Make the turn

[00:00:51] Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:01:00] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:01:09] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:01:17] 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:42] I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

[00:01:51] The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

[00:01:59] And I watched my social standings slip away from me

[00:02:08] While I watched the bottle slowly take command

[00:02:16] Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:02:25] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:33] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:41] 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:02:50] 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away for rose
