The Wild Side of Life

Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
 You ask me not to call you on the phone
 But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
 So I wrote it in the words of this song
 I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
 I might have known you'd never make a wife
 You gave up the only one that ever loved you
 And went on back to the wild side of life
 Well, the glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
 To the places where the wine and liquor flow
 Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
 And forget the truest love you'll ever known
 I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
 I might have known you'd never make a wife
 You gave up the only one that ever loved you
 And went on back to the wild side of life
