The Wild Side of Life / It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels
You wouldn't read my letter 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 who ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
INTRO
(PAUSE)
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin' Your song about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are sayin' It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife
CHORUS: It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you say in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're single And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong
CHORUS:
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife Too many times married men think they're single And go back to the wild side of life They go back to the wild side of life
