Wild Side Of Life

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

You ask 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

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you

To 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 never make a wife

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

And went back to that wild side of life

Now the glamour of the gay night life has lured you

To 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 never make a wife

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

And went back to the wild side of life

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels

Oh, I might have known you never make a wife

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

And went back to the wild side of life.
