You wouldn't read the letter that I wrote you You told me not to call you on the phone But there's something that I just got 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 back to the wild side of life. --- Instrumental --- The glamour of the gay night life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you wait to be anybody'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 And went back to the wild side of life...
