Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you,
   And you asked me not to call you on the pone.
   Well there's something I've been waiting for to tell you so I wrote it in the words of this song.
  
   Well the glamour of the game that life has lured you, to the place where the wile and liquor flow.
   Where you went to be somebody else's baby,
   And forget the truest love you ever know.
  
   I never kjnew there were honky-tonk angels,
   Oh I might have known you' never make a wife,
   You gave up the one that ever loved you,
   And went back to that wild side of life.
