The Wild Side Of Life Lyrics - Wynn Stewart

THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE 

Writer William Warren and Arlie Carter 

Copyright 1951 

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 who'll ever love you 

And went back to the wild side of life 

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you 

To the places where the wine and liquor flow 

Where you wait to be anybody's baby 

And forget the truest love you'll ever know 

I didn't know God made...
