| You wouldn’t read my letters 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 really loves you
|
| And went back to the wild side of life
|
| I’ll just live my life alone with mem’ries of you
|
| And I dream of kisses you traded for my tears
|
| And no one will ever know how much I love you
|
| And I pray that you’ll be happy through the years
|
| 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 really loves you
|
| And went back to the wild side of life… |
