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
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
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
