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've been 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 take a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the game of life has lured 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 know
I didn't know God made Honky Tonk angels
I might have known you'd never take a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
