Lyrics:

Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you You asked 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 gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one who ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life
