You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know there were honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the one who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

I didn't know there were honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the one who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

You gave up the one who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
