The Wild Side Of Life

( W. Warren / A. Carter)

You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them

You ask me not to call you on the phone

But there's something I've been waiting for 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 on back to the wild side of life

The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you

to the places where the wine and liquor flow

Where you wait to be somebody else's baby

And forget the truest love you'll ever know

(chorus)

The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you

to the places where the wine and liquor flow

Where you wait to be somebody else's baby

And forget the truest love you'll ever know

(chorus)
