Waylon Jennings - Wild Side Of Life 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
