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

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

As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin′

The tune about the wild side of life

As I listen to the words you are sayin′

It brings memories when I was a trustin' wife

It wasn′t God who made honky tonk angels

As you said in the words of your song

Too many times married men think they're still single

That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

It′s a shame that all the blame is on us women

It's not true that only you men feel the same

From the start most every heart that′s ever broken

Was because there always was a man to blame

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

As you said in the words of your song

Too many times married men think they're still single

That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

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

And went back to the wild side of life
