The Wild Side of Life |
| Well, you wouldn’t read my letters if I wrote you |
| You asked me not to call you on the phone |
| There’s something I’ve been waiting for to tell you |
| So I wrote it in the words of this song |
| You never knew there were honky tonk angels |
| Or you might have known I’d never make a wife |
| You walked out on the only one who ever loved you |
| So I went back to the wild side of life |
| Now the glamor of the good life always lead me To the places where the wild liquor flows |
| I tried to be your one and only angel |
| But I’m not that kind of angel, heaven knows |
| I cried so hard the day you went and left me |
| 'Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife |
| What you wanted was another kind of angel |
| And you should be back to the wild side of life |
| No, well, I guess I’m just a honky tonk angel |
| I might have known I’d never make a wife |
| Well, you left the only one who ever loved you |
| And I’m back here on the wild side of life |
| I’m only a honky tonk angel |
| I might have known I’d never make a wife |
| You walked out on the only one who ever loved you |
| And you left me here on the wild side of life |
