I Threw Away The Rose
I Threw Away The Rose
by Hank Snow
CFC
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
G7C
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
FC
Success for me lay just around the corner
G7C
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
FC
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
G7C
A victim of the drunken life I chose
FC
Now all my social friends look down their noses
G7C
Cause I kept the wine and I threw away the rose
FC
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
G7C
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
FC
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
G7C
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
FC
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
G7C
A victim of the drunken life I chose
FC
Now all my social friends look down their noses
G7C
Cause I kept the wine and I threw away the rose
