Charley Pride - I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics






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
But now I'm paying for...

  24. E.... H....

    I first heard Charley Pride, 1967 at Fort Hood Texas. At that time he was going by the name, Country Charley Pride.

  25. R.... B....

    Great song by Charlie Pride! He is awesome, but I also love, love Merle Haggard ...every song he ever sang!

    R.... B....

    Ruth Boykin. Yes. Charley Pride is one of the greatest, and he does an awesome job with this song. But no one can do any song as well as The Hag!

    R.... B....

    I put Gene Watson, next in Line!!

  26. W.... L....

  27. K.... D....

  28. R.... H....

    I have not heard Charlie Pride in years. I Still Love Him and every song he sings.❣️💞

  29. M.... M....

    No greater
    recording of a
    country song EVER, although
    there were others
    that rivaled it. Mr,
    Pride was really
    singing from the
    mountaintop on this one!👍👏😃

    M.... M....

    I think the title you were looking for was not " I Kept The Wine" but Charley Pride I Threw Away The Rose 1967. Did you once upon a time keep the wine? Great song, had it at one time!

  30. w.... ....

    Good version of Hag's very good song, Several great artist recorded this one and all are good,

  31. m.... o....

    MY COMMENT IS A SIMPLE ONE,THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER VOICE OF HIS MAGNITUDE.

    m.... o....

    Nobody is a greater admirer of Charley Pride than I am, but to place him above every other magnificent vocalist that ever lived is absurd.

    m.... o....

    @Mookie Spindlehurst Yes i agree a great singer . 5*** ,

    m.... o....

    @Brian Lawrence
    With appreciation. There is a great saying: "Comparison is the thief of joy."
    We all have our favorites, but regarding things as subjective as the fields of literature, films, vocalists, sculptors, painters, composers, etc.
    nobody can avow that one giant is greater than the others.
    (Google Faron Young on EVERY TIME I'M KISSING YOU, David Mccluskey channel. Also Faron on TILL I WALTZ AGAIN WITH YOU, YOU'LL DRIVE ME BACK INTO HER ARMS, MY FRIEND ON THE RIGHT, Connie Smith on I NEVER ONCE STOPPED LOVING YOU (live tv show version, and YOU CROSSED MY MIND 1,000 TIMES TODAY.)

  32. S.... D....

    Best ballad singer in country music.

  33. M.... M....

    My favorite Pride song, with at least twenty others bunched together in
    second place below it.

  34. m.... ....

    wow he sounds better than the hagg

    m.... ....

    A LOT BETTER! The
    "Hag" left me cold.

  35. R.... R....

    Mighty Merle haggard song

  36. K.... L....

    Good song🎤

  37. T.... t....

    I'm throwing the rose away myself.can't stop
