Wild Side of Life [Live At BBC]

Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
Well, there is something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the word of this song

Now, the glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well, you went to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you'd never make a wife
Now, you gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Well, the glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you'd never make a wife
Now, you gave up the only one that ever loved you
Oh, and went back to that wild side of life
