Honky Tonk Angels Lyrics

Ad Lib Tempo (slowly with feeling)

[1] As I sit here tonight…the juke-box playing…
That old tune about the wild side of life…
As I listen to the words…you are saying…
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife….

[CHO] IT WASN’T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS…
AS YOU SAID IN THE WORDS OF YOUR SONG….
TOO MANY TIMES…MARRIED MEN THINK THEY’RE STILL SINGLE..
THAT HAS CAUSED MANY A GOOD GIRL…TO GO WRONG

Verse Number Two:
[2] It’s a shame…all a’ the blame is on us women..
It’s not true that only you men…feel the same…
From the start a’most every heart…that’s ever been broken…
Was because there always was a man to blame…

[CHO] IT WASN’T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS…
AS YOU SAID IN THE WORDS OF YOUR SONG….
TOO MANY TIMES…MARRIED MEN THINK THEY’RE STILL SINGLE..
THAT HAS CAUSED MANY A GOOD GIRL…TO GO WRONG

[BREAKDOWN] IT WASN’T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS…
AS YOU SAID IN THE WORDS OF YOUR SONG….
TOO MANY TIMES…MARRIED MEN THINK THEY’RE STILL SINGLE..
THAT’S WHAT CAUSED MANY A GOOD GIRL…TO GO WRONG

[CHO] IT WASN’T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS…
AS YOU SAID IN THE WORDS OF YOUR SONG….
TOO MANY TIMES…MARRIED MEN THINK THEY’RE STILL SINGLE..
THAT’S WHAT CAUSED MANY A GOOD GIRL…TO GO WRONG

[FADE] IT WASN’T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS…
AS YOU SAID IN THE WORDS OF YOUR SONG….
TOO MANY TIMES…MARRIED MEN THINK THEY’RE STILL SINGLE..
THAT HAS CAUSED MANY A GOOD GIRL…TO GO WRONG
