Album: Wild Side of Life
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
Chorus:
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 really loves you
And went back to the wild side of life
--- Instrumental ---
I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you
And I dream of kisses you traded for my tears
And no one will ever know how much I love you
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years
Chorus:
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 who really loves you
And went back to the wild side of life
