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 who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playin'
A song about 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's caused many a good girl 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
