Lyrics
Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
And you asked me not to call you on the phone
Well there's one thing I've been wanting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this 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
Though I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the 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
Though I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Though I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
Repeat last verse and fade.
Writer(s): Arlie A. Carter, Warren
