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've wanted to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
But I should have known you'd never make a wife
You cheated the only one that ever loved you
And then went back to the wild side of life

The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
WYou broke each sacred vow that you made me
And gave up the truest love you'll ever know

I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
But I should have known you'd never make a wife
You cheated the only one that ever loved you
And then went back to the wild side of life
