《I Threw Away The Rose(Alternate Take / 1966 Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away The Rose (扔掉玫瑰) (2005 Digital Remaster) - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:18] Once I lived the life of wine and roses

[00:00:26] And I drank a lot back then for one concern

[00:00:34] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:43] I thought my social friends

[00:00:45] Would help me make the turn

[00:00:51] But now I'm paying for

[00:00:54] The days of wine and roses

[00:01:00] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:01:09] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:01:17] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:42] I stood by and watched

[00:01:45] The bottle take control of me

[00:01:51] The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

[00:01:59] And I watched my social

[00:02:02] Standings slip away from me

[00:02:08] While I watched the bottle slowly take command

[00:02:16] And now I'm paying for

[00:02:19] The days of wine and roses

[00:02:25] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:33] And all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:41] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:02:50] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
