Select language to translate this lyric
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 that 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've been 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 taunts a million poor girls 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
