Merle Haggard - The wild side of life

^DYou would'nt read my letter if I ^Gwrote you, You ^Aasked me not to call you on the ^Dphone. But there's something I wanted to ^Gtell you, So I ^Awrote it in the words of this ^Dsong.

I did'nt know God made honky-tonk ^Gangels, I ^Amight have never know you'd make a ^Dwife. You gave up the only one who ever ^Gloved you, And went ^Aback to the wild side of ^Dlife.

^DThe glamour of the gain my life has ^Glurred you, To the ^Aplaces where the wine and liqour ^Dflow. Where you wait to be anybody's ^Gbaby, And for^Aget the truest love you'll ever ^Dknow.
