I Threw Away The Rose

Merle Haggard

Play Song in INSTRUMENTAL INTRO (PLAY LINES BELOW INSTRUMENTALLY) Now all my social friends look down their noses Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose VERSE ONE 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 me turn NC 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 INSTRUMENTAL TURNAROUND (PLAY LINES BELOW INSTRUMENTALLY) Now all my social friends look down their noses Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose VERSE TWO I stood by and watched...the bottle take con-trol 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 CHORUS NC 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 TAGG Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose NC: No Chord...Vocals are sung cold...without music.
