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 just got 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 who ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life.
--- Instrumental ---
The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be ...
