Honkytonk Angels

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 made Honkeytonk 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

As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playing
Your song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the worlds you are saying
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife

It wasn't God who made Honkeytonk 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 Honkeytonk angles
As you say it in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're single
And go back to the wild side of life

And go back to the wild side of life
