Wild Side of Life - Mickey Gilley

You wouldn’t read my letters 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 really loves you

And went back to the wild side of life

I’ll just live my life alone with mem’ries of you

And I dream of kisses you traded for my tears

And no one will ever know how much I love you

And I pray that you’ll be happy through the years

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 who really loves you

And went back to the wild side of life…
