Wild side of life

Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You ask me not to call you on the phone
Well, there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of a song

Now the glamour of the game that life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Now the glamour of the gay that life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life
