Well you wouldn't
read my letters
if I wrote you
You ask me
not to call you
on the phone
Well there's something
I've been waiting
for to tell you
So I wrote it
in the words
of a song
Now the glamour
of the game that's
life has lured you
To the places where
the wine and
liquor flow
Well you went to
be somebody
else's baby
And forget the
truest love
you'd ever known
I never knew
there were
honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have
known you'd never
make a wife
You gave up
the only one that
ever loved you
And went back
to that wild
side of life
Now the glamour
of the game that's
life has lured you
To the places
where the wine
and liquor flow
Well, you went
to be somebody
else's baby
And forget the
truest love you'd
ever known
I never knew
there were
honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have
known you'd never
make a wife
You gave up
the only one that
ever loved you
And went back
to that wild
side of life
I never knew
there were
honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have
known you'd never
make a wife
You gave up
the only one that
ever loved you
