《I Threw Away The Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away The Rose (扔掉玫瑰) - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:20] Once I lived the life of wine and roses

[00:00:28] And I drank a lot back then for one concern

[00:00:38] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:47] I thought my social friends

[00:00:50] Would help me make the turn

[00:00:56] But now I'm paying for

[00:01:00] The days of wine and roses

[00:01:06] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:01:16] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:01:24] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:53] I stood by and watched

[00:01:56] The bottle take control of me

[00:02:03] The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

[00:02:12] And I watched my social

[00:02:15] Standings slip away from me

[00:02:21] While I watched the bottle slowly take command

[00:02:29] And now I'm paying for

[00:02:33] The days of wine and roses

[00:02:40] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:49] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:58] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:03:07] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
