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 |
|
I stood by and watched the bottle take control 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 |
|
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 |
