Lyrics I Threw Away the Rose

Once I lived the 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

'Cos 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

And I watched my social standings slip away from me

While I watched the bottle slowly 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

'Cos I kept the wine and threw away the rose
