Wild Side Of Life - Hank Williams

Well, you wouldn’t read my letters if I wrote you

You asked me not to call you on the phone

There’s something I’ve been waiting for to tell you

So I wrote it in the words of this song

You never knew there were honky tonk angels

Or you might have known I’d never make a wife

You walked out on the only one who ever loved you

So I went back to the wild side of life

Now the glamor of the good life always lead me To the places where the wild liquor flows

I tried to be your one and only angel

But I’m not that kind of angel, heaven knows

I cried so hard the day you went and left me

'Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife

What you wanted was another kind of angel

And you should be back to the wild side of life

No, well, I guess I’m just a honky tonk angel

I might have known I’d never make a wife

Well, you left the only one who ever loved you

And I’m back here on the wild side of life

I’m only a honky tonk angel

I might have known I’d never make a wife

You walked out on the only one who ever loved you

And you left me here on the wild side of life
