作曲：Merle Haggard

Once I lived the life of wine and roses

But you drank a lot back then for one concern

Success for you lay just around the corner

You thought your social friends would help you make the turn

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

A victim of the kind of life you chose

Now all your social friends look down their noses

'Cause you kept the wine but threw away the rose

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of you

The turn you made was not the one we planned

And I watched your social standing stripped away from you

While I watched the bottle slowly take command

And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

A victim of the kind of life you chose

And now all your social friends look down their noses

'Cause you kept the wine but threw away the rose

'Cause you kept the wine but threw away the rose
