D G You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote youA7 D You asked me not to call you on the phoneD G But there's something I'm wanting to tell youA7 D So I wrote it in the words of this song [Chorus]D G I didn't know God made honky tonk angelsA7 D I might have known you'd never make a wifeD G You gave up the only one that ever loved youA7 D And went back to the wild side of life[Instrumental] D G A7 D [Verse 2]D G The glamor of the gay night life has lured youA7 D To the places where the wine and liquor flowD G There you wait to be anybodys babyA7 D And forget the truest love you'll ever know [Chorus]D G I didn't know God made honky tonk angelsA7 D I might have known you'd never make a wifeD G You gave up the only one that ever loved youA7 D And went back to the wild side of life
The Wild Side Of Life
