Once I lived a life of wine and roses I drank a lot back then so one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friends could 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 turn I'd planned I watched my social standings slip away from me Yes I watched the bottle slowly take command Oh now I'm paying for the days... Yes I kept the wine and threw away the rose
