Wild Side Of Life

[D]You wouldn't read my [D7]letter if I wrote[G] you
Y[A7]ou asked me not to call you on the [D]phone
But there's something I'm want[D7]ing to tell y[G]ou
So I [A7]wrote it in the words of this  s[D]ong.

I Didn't know God mad[D7]e honky tonk ang[G]els
I[A7] might have known you'd never make a [D]wife
You gave up the only on[D7]e that ever loved[G] you
And went b[A7]ack to the wild side of l[D]ife.

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.

Repeat chorus:

It hurt me to know that you don't love me,
Though I know our love's forever gone,
And it killed my soul and pride dear inside me,
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long.

I'll just live my life alone with mem-ries of you,
And dream of kisses you traded for my tears,
And no one will ever know how much I loved you,
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years.

Repeat chorus:
