Honky Tonk Angeles Lyrics



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
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life.

--- Instrumental ---

As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playin'
Your song bout the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting wife.

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 haunts a million poor girls to go wrong.

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...
