Conway Twitty - 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 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
