[Verse 1]
A
You wouldn't
read
A
my letter if
D D
I wrote you,
E
you asked me not
E
to call
you on the
A A
phone.
But there's
A
something
A
I'm wanting
D D
to tell you,
E
so, I wrote it
in the
E
words of this
A A
song.
[Chorus]
A
I didn't know
God made
A
Honky Tonk
D D
angels,
E
I might have
known
you'd
E
never make a
A A
wife.
A
You gave up
the only
A
one that ever
D D
loved you
E
and went back
to the
E
wild side of
A A
life.

[Verse 2]
A
Well, the glamor
of the
A
gay nightlife
D D
has lured you
E
to the places
where the
E
wine and liquor
A A
flow,
A
where you wait
to be
A D D
anybody's baby
E
and forget the
truest
E
love you'll
A A
ever know.
[End-Chorus]

I didn't know

I might have

You gave up

and went back

the wild side of

life.
