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
