Stonewall Jackson - I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics


Stonewall Jackson Lyrics

I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics
Once I lived a life of wine and roses I drank a lot back then so one concern

Success for me lay just around the corner

I thought my social friends could help me make me 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

[ dobro ]

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

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

I watched my social standings slip away from me

Yes I watched the bottle slowly take command

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

Yes I kept the wine and threw away the rose
