Lyrics:Written by Merle Haggard
(As performed by George Jones)

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
