Wild Side Of Life

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'm wanting 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 who ever loved you

And went on back to the wild side of life.



--- Instrumental ---



The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquor flow

Where you waited to be somebody's baby

And forget the truest love you'll ever know.



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 ever loved you

Then went on back to the wild side of life...
