george jones - paying for the days of wine and roses lyrics
once i lived the 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 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
for i kept the wine and threw away the rose.
— instrumental —
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 standing slip away from 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 friend look down their noses
for i kept the wine and threw away the rose.
