Wild Side of Life

Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you

You asked 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 gay night-life has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquor flow

Well you went to be somebody else's baby

And forget the truest love you've ever known

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels

Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife

You gave up the only one who ever loved you

And went back to that wild side of life

Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquor flow

Well you went to be somebody else's baby

And forget the truest love you've ever known

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels

Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife

You gave up the only one who ever loved you

And went back to that wild side of life

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels

Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife

You gave up the only one who ever loved you

And went back to that wild side of life
