Wild Side of Live
(William Warren / Arlie A. Carter)
It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels (J.D. Miller)
Le Côté farouche de la vie (lyrics by Marie Falcon)
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 that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life.
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playin'
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife
It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame
It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
Tu voulais pas lire mes lettres que j’t’ai ecrit
Et tu m’as demande que j’appelle pas dessus le telephone
Il y’a quelque chose que moi j’ai tout le temps voulais te dire
Ils sont ecrit dedans les mots de cette chanson
Je savais pas que le bon dieu faisait les anges d’honky tonk
J’aurais connu qu’elle n’aurais jamais faire une femme
Toi t’as laisse le seul qui vas jamais t’aimer
Pour aller dessus le bord de la vie farouche
