A glamour of the gay night life has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquor flow

Where you wait to be anybody's baby and give off the only love you'll ever know

It wasn't God who 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

[ dobro - guitar ]

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels...

And went back to the wild side of life
