You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you You asked me not to call you on the phoneBut there's something I'm wanting to tell you So I wrote it in the words of this songI didn't know God made honky-tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wifeBut you gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of lifeThe glamour of the gay nightlife has lowered you To the places where the wine and liquor flowWhere you wait to be anybody's baby And forget the truest love you'll ever knowI didn't know God made honky-tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wifeBut you gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
