Wild Side Of Life Lyrics

Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote youYou asked me not to call you on the phoneThere's something I've been waiting for to tell youSo I wrote it in the words of this songYou never knew there were honky tonk angelsOr you might have known I'd never make a wifeYou walked out on the only one who ever loved youSo I went back to the wild side of lifeNow the glamour of the good life always lead meTo the places where the wild liquor flowsI tried to be your one and only angelBut I'm not that kind of angel, heaven knowsInstrumentalI cried so hard the day you went and left meCause some things you said, they cut me like a knifeWhat you wanted was another kind of angelAnd you should be back to the wild side of lifeNo, well, I guess I'm just a honky tonk angelI might have known I'd never make a wifeWell, you left the only one who ever loved youAnd I'm back here on the wild side of lifeI'm only a honky tonk angelI might have known I'd never make a wifeYou walked out on the only one who ever loved youAnd you left me here on the wild side of life
