Merle Haggard - The Wild Side Of Life Lyrics
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
You ask me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song.
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life.
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you waited to be somebody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
Then went on back to the wild side of life...

A great old Hank Thompson song from Merle's 2001 album titled, "Roots".
Hellllllyea
Beautiful. THE GREATEST. .
Absolutely beautiful. . LOVE MERLE...
That is so good. Minimal stereo. If you like that, here's the history of the song. Hank Thompson talks about it. He's joined by Kitty Wells for the answer song. https://youtu.be/LSy073kHzyc
THANKS a favorite of mine since the 50s by hank thompson but this is just as good. THANKS
Best version of this song
+Jessie Arabie
Good, but no better than Hank Thompson, and nobody's as good as Jerry Lee Lewis does it.
The most clear sounding at that lol
Great song by Merle, love it, Check out my version ~ Arthur
I sing this song a lot. This doesn't sound like Merle.
He's 64 in this.
This isn't Merle Haggard
It's Jerry Lewis. Of course it's Merl.
It’s definitely Merle. He didn’t write the song
Love this song ♥ thanks for sharing :-))
