george jones - i threw away the rose lyrics
he stopped loving her today
written by merle haggard
once i lived a life of wine and roses
i drank a lot back then for one concern
success for me lay just around the corner
i thought my social friend 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
for 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 planned
and i watched my social standings slip away from me
as i slowly watched the bottle 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
for i kept the wine and through away the rose…
