Recorded by Hank ThompsonWritten by Arlie A. Carter and William WarremD GYou wouldn't read my letter if I wrote youA DYou asked me not to call you on the phoneGBut there's something I'm wanting to tell youA DSo I wrote it in the words of this song.CHORUS:GI Didn't know God made honky tonk angelsA DI might have known you'd never make a wifeGYou gave up the only one that ever loved youA DAnd went back to the WILD SIDE OF LIFE.The glamor of the gay night life has lured youTo the places where the wine and liquor flowsWhere you wait to be anybody's babyAnd forget the truest love you'll ever know.CHORUS
