Paragraph Lyric
Burl Ives - The wild side of life

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

CHORUS:
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
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

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know

REPEAT CHORUS
Burl Ives - The wild side of life      You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you   You asked me not to call you on the phone   But there's something I'm wanting to tell you   So I wrote it in the words of this song      CHORUS:   I didn't know God made honky tonk angels   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      The glamour of the gay night life has lured you   To the places where the wine and liquor flows   Where you wait to be anybody's baby   And forget the truest love you'll ever know      REPEAT CHORUS
