The Wild Side Of Life [Live - Wembly 12-6-80]

Take me back to the wild side on the earth, cause there's snow when I'm still old

You wouldn't read my letters when I'm old yeah, yeah yeah
You ask me not to call you on the telephone
But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I didn't know you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life

The glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you
Places where the wine and liquor flow
You wait to be somebody else's baby (yeah)
Forget the truest love that you'll ever know (tell me honey)

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 on back to the wild side of life

Glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you (yeah)
Places where the wine and liquor flow (you know what baby)
You wait to be somebody else's baby
Forget the truest love you'll ever know

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
Went on back to the wild side of life (get back baby)
