Karaoke Track: I Threw Away The Rose by Merle Haggard (Top Hits) - Karaoke Nerds

Once I lived a life

of wine and roses

I drank a lot back then

for one concern

I drank a lot back then

for one concern

Success for me
layjust around the corner
I thought my social friends

would help me make the turn

I thought my social friends

would help me make the turn

Now I'm payin' for the days

of wine and roses
A victim of

the drunken life I chose

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

'cause I kept the wine

and threw away the rose

the bottle take control of me

The turn I made

was not the one I planned

The turn I made

was not the one I planned

Now I'm payin' for the days

of wine and roses

Now all my social friends

look down their noses

Yes I kept the wine

and threw away the rose
