Merle Haggard - The Wild Side Of Life lyrics

You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them You ask 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 on back to the wild side of life. The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you waited to be somebody's baby And forget the truest love you'll ever know. 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 Then went on back to the wild side of life...
