Honky Tonk Angels - Waylon Jennings

You wouldn’t read my letter 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 ever loved you

And went back to the wild side of life…

As I sit here tonight the jukebox’s playin'

A song about the wild side of life

As I listen to the words you’ve been sayin'

It brings mem’ries when I was a trusting wife

It wasn’t God who made honky tonk angels

As you say in the words of your song

Too many times married men think they’re single

And it taunts a million poor girls to go wrong

It wasn’t God who made honky tonk angels

I might have known you’d never make a wife

Too many times married men think they’re single

And go back to the wild side of life
