Hank Thompson Wild Side Of Life Lyrics

Wild Side Of Life 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 

  

 CHORUS: 

 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 

  

 The glamor of the gay night life has lured you 

 To the places where the wine and liquor flows 

 Where you wait to be anybody's baby 

 And forget the truest love you'll ever know 

  

 REPEAT CHORUS 

  

  

 (As performed by Ray Price on "Night Life")  

  

 You wouldn't read the letter that I wrote you 

 You told me not to call you on the phone 

 But there's something that I've just got to tell you 

 So I wrote it in the words of this song 

  

 CHORUS: 

 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 

  

 The glamor of the gay night life has lured you 

 To the places where the wine and liquor flow 

 Where you wait to be anybody's baby 

 And forgot the truest love you'll ever know 

  

 REPEAT CHORUS
