Honky Tonk Angels 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 playin'
Your song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings memories of 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
