Текст песни I Threw Away The Rose

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 I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me The turn I made was not the one I'd planned And I watched my social friends slip away from me While I watched the bottle slowly take command But now I'm paying for... Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
