《I Threw Away the Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away the Rose - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:09] Once I lived a life of wine and roses

[00:00:16] And I drank a lot back then for one concern

[00:00:24] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:31] I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

[00:00:39] But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:00:48] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:00:55] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:01:03] 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:26] I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

[00:01:35] The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

[00:01:42] I watched my social standings slip away from me

[00:01:50] While I watched the bottle slowly take command

[00:01:57] And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:02:06] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:13] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:21] 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:02:28] 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
