《I Threw Away The Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away The Rose - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

[00:00:01] Written by：Merle Haggard

[00:00:11] Once I lived a life of wine and roses

[00:00:20] I drank a lot back then for one concern

[00:00:30] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:38] I thought my social friend would help me

[00:00:43] Make the turn

[00:00:47] But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:00:58] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:01:07] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:01:16] For I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:34] I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

[00:01:44] The turn I made was not the one I planned

[00:01:53] And I watched my social standings slip away from me

[00:02:03] As I slowly watched the bottle take command

[00:02:11] And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:02:21] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:30] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:39] For I kept the wine and through away the rose
