What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
2
You asked me not to call you on the phone
3
There's something I've been waiting for to tell you
4
So I wrote it in the words of this song
5
You never knew there were honky tonk angels
6
Or you might have known I'd never make a wife
7
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
8
So I went back to the wild side of life
9
Now the glamor of the good life always lead me
10
To the places where the wild liquor flows
11
I tried to be your one and only angel
12
But I'm not that kind of angel, heaven knows
13
I cried so hard the day you went and left me
14
'Cause some things you said, they cut me like a knife
15
What you wanted was another kind of angel
16
And you should be back to the wild side of life
17
No, well, I guess I'm just a honky tonk angel
18
I might have known I'd never make a wife
19
Well, you left the only one who ever loved you
20
And I'm back here on the wild side of life
21
I'm only a honky tonk angel
22
I might have known I'd never make a wife
23
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
24
And you left me here on the wild side of life
