《I Threw Away the Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away the Rose - Norma Jean

[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Haggard

[00:00:10] Once I lived a life of wine and roses

[00:00:18] And I drank a lot back then for one concern

[00:00:27] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:35] I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

[00:00:43] But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:00:53] A victim of the drunken life I chose

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

[00:01:09] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:27] I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

[00:01:36] The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

[00:01:44] I watched my social standings slip away from me

[00:01:53] I watched the bottle slowly take command

[00:02:01] And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:02:11] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:19] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:27] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:02:36] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
