Newfoundlander Lyr Req: Wild Side of Life (Hank Thompson) (28) Lyr/Chords Add: THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE 26 Mar 98


Hello Harold. Here's the lyrics for Wild Side Of Life.


THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE
(W. Warren--A. A. Carter)
As recorded by Hank Thompson and His Brazos Valley Boys, 1952.

You [D] wouldn't read my letter if I [G] wrote you
You [A] asked me not to call you on the [D] phone
But there's something I'm wanting to [G] tell you
So I [A] wrote it in the words of this [D] song.

CHORUS:
I didn't know God made honky tonk [G] angels
I [A] might have known you'd never make a [D] wife
You gave up the only one that ever [G] loved you
And went [A] back to the WILD SIDE OF [D] LIFE.

The glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.

CHORUS
