You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You ask me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm longing to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

I never knew God made honky-tonk angels
I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Yes it hurts me to know that you don't love me
Though I know our loves forever gone
And it killed my soul and pride dear inside me
When I saw you in the strangers arms so long

I never knew God made honky-tonk angels
I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

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