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
CHORUS:
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
INTRO
(PAUSE)
(Jessi)
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin'
Your song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS (Jessi and Waylon):
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
