Hank Snow - I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics


Hank Snow Lyrics

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 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...

Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
