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...
