Wild Side of Life Songtext
von Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter

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 who 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 are sayin'
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′s caused many a good girl 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
They go back to the wild side of life
