The Wild Side Of Life

D G You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you A7 D You asked me not to call you on the phone G But there's something I'm wanting to tell you A7 D So I wrote it in the words of this song. G I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels A7 D I might have known you'd never make a wife G You gave up the only one that ever loved you A7 D And went back to The Wild Side of Life. D G The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you A7 D To the places where the wine and liquor flows G Where you wait to be anybody's baby A7 D And forget the truest love you'll ever know. D G It hurt me to know that you don't love me A7 D Though I know our love's forever gone G And it killed my soul and pride dear inside me A7 D When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long. D G I'll just live my life alone with memories of you A7 D And dream of kisses you traded for my tears G And no one will ever know how much I loved you A7 D And I pray that you'll be happy through the years.
