Hank Thompson – The Wild Side of Life
D G
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
A7 D
You asked me not to call you on the phone
G
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
A7 D
So I wrote it in the words of this song.
Chorus:
G
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
A7 D
I might have known you'd never make a wife
G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
A7 D
And went back to The Wild Side of Life.
D G
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
A7 D
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
G
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
A7 D
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
Chorus:
