Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you You ask me not to call you on the phone Well, there's something I've been waiting for to tell you So I wrote it in the words of a song Now the glamour of the game that life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well, you went to be some body else's baby And forget the truest love you ever know I never knew there where honky-tonk angels Oh, I might have know you never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life Now the glamour of the gay that life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well, you went to be some body else's baby And forget the truest love you ever know I never knew there where honky-tonk angels Oh, I might have know you never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life I never knew there where honky-tonk angels Oh, I might have know you never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life
