Intro: Verse (Waylon) 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 who ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life Verse (Jessi) As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin' Your song about the wild side of life As I listen to the words you are sayin' It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you say in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're single And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife Too many times married men think they're single And go back to the wild side of life They go back to the wild side of life
