Honky Tonk Angels
Honky Tonk Confessions: Love, Loss, and Temptation
Lyrics
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing
Reflecting on the current moment while a jukebox plays music.
A tune about the wild side of life
The song playing discusses the adventurous or risky aspects of life.
And as I listen to the words that you are saying
Listening to the lyrics and reflecting on the message conveyed.
It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife
Recalling memories from the past when the person was a trusting wife.
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
Contradicting the notion that God created women to be honky-tonk angels.
s you said in the words of your song
Quoting the words of a song that implies women are to blame for their choices.
Too many times married men think they're still single
Noting that married men often act as if they are still single.
And that has caused many a good girl to go wrong
This behavior leads many good women astray.
Oh it's a shame that all the blame is on us women
Expressing frustration that blame is unfairly placed on women.
Well it's not true that only men feel the same
Rejecting the idea that only men experience certain feelings.
From the start most every heart that's been broken
Suggesting that most heartbreaks result from male actions.
Was because there was always a man to blame
Blaming men for the majority of broken hearts.
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
Reiterating the idea that God is not responsible for honky-tonk angels.
As you said in the words of your song
Referencing the lyrics that put blame on women for straying.
Too many times married men think they're still single
Reiterating the tendency of married men to act as if they are single.
And that has caused many a good girl to go wrong
Highlighting the negative consequences for good girls due to this behavior.
And that has caused many a good girl to go wrong
Emphasizing that the actions of married men lead good girls astray.
