Wild Side of Life

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
