[00:11.58]Once I lived a life of wine and roses
[00:21.96]I drank a lot back then for one concern
[00:24.90]Success for me lay just around the corner
[00:39.00]I thought my social friend would help me make the turn
[00:47.55]But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
[01:00.21]A victim of the drunken life I chose
[01:07.05]Now all my social friends look down their noses
[01:16.68]For I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[01:34.98]I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
[01:43.26]The turn I made was not the one I planned
[01:54.21]And I watched my social standings slip away from me
[02:03.06]As I slowly watched the bottle take command
[02:11.55]And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
[02:24.00]A victim of the drunken life I chose
[02:30.66]Now all my social friends look down their noses
[02:40.11]For I kept the wine and through away the rose...

Once I lived a life of wine and roses
I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friend would help me make the 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
For 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 planned
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
As I slowly watched the bottle take command
And 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
For I kept the wine and through away the rose...
