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
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife
But you gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lowered 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
But you gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
