You would'nt read my letter if I wrote you,
You asked me not to call you on the phone.
But there's something I wanted to tell you,
So I wrote it in the words of this song.
Chorus
I did'nt know God made honky-tonk angels,
I might have never know you'd make a wife.
You gave up the only one who ever loved you,
And went back to the wild side of life.
The glamour of the gain my life has lurred you,
To the places where the wine and liqour flow.
Where you wait to be anybody's baby,
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
Sing Chorus
