Del Reeves - I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics



Del Reeves - I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics




Once I lived a 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

Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[ steel ]

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

I watched my social standings slip away from me

While I watched the bottle slowly take command



But now I'm paying for the days...

Yes I kept the wine and threw away the rose
