lirik lagu hank snow – 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 i threw away the rose.
— instrumental —
i stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
the turn i made was not the one i’d planned
and i watched my social standings slip away from me
while i watched the bottle slowly take command.
and 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 i threw away the rose.
’cause i kept the wine and i threw away the rose…
